NAGPUR: Rotary India Literacy Mission is an initiative by Rotary International to promote and encourage literacy across the country. The project is also backed by the government of India.
As part of this mission, a group of 12 Rotarian bikers from RD 3190 has undertaken a 4200km bike ride from Kanyakumari to Kolkata. These bikers belong to a fellowship group named International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians (IFMR). After starting their journey on January 28, they reached Nagpur and interacted with the media at Chitnavis Centre.
Through “Asha Kiran”, Rotarians will raise money which will be used to put students back in schools, especially dropouts who were forced into child labour.
This project, which will ensure that 3500-4000 students go back to school, requires funds to the tune of Rs1.5 crore. A student needs at least Rs2500 to complete school education.
After this project, the other education-related programmes like Teacher Support, E Learning, Child Development and Happy School will get under way.
The Rotarians who are on this mission are assistant governor of RD 3190 Sunil Telkar of Rotary Club of Bangalore Kalyan, Jayaprakash from Rotary Club of Bangalore Cubbon Park, Srinivas Babu from Rotary Club of Bangalore Garden City, Prashanth Babu from Rotary Club of Bangalore Downtown, Arun Belur from Rotary Bangalore Udyog, Ajit SR from Rotary Bangalore Central, Rajesh AR from Rotary Bangalore Central, Shrinivas Raju from Rotary Club of Rotary Bangalore Cubbon Park, Vijay Mane from Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar, Abhay Kanjikar from Rotary Udyog, Mohan D from Rotary Hassan Hoysala and Ikram Ahmed Khan from Rotary Koramangala. All these bikers are respected senior members of Rotary Club Bangalore. They will be reaching Kolkata by February 13 to participate in the Rotary India Centennial Summit 2020 and will also share their experience there.
From Nagpur, Rotarians present at the press conference were Tauby Bhagwagar, Rajesh Vyawhare, Sudhir Dara, Pramod Jawandhiya, Arun Mittal, Sohrab Kanga, Sandip Deshpande, Parag Paranjape and Sanjay Khandar.
The Nagpur Enclave comprising all Rotary Clubs of Nagpur city have pledged support for this mission. Rotary Club of Nagpur Vision is the leading club responsible for this mission.
