We had appointed an English teacher for the primary school. Kids who learnt English for the first time in their lives wrote us reports of their educational trip in their own words. We believe that it is very important to be imparting communication skills early on in school.
Along with Pink Hope Connect, we conducted a program to help bring awareness through education on cancer prevention, preventable cancer risk factors, benefits of early diagnosis and availability of screening facilities.

We also had an interactive session with members from the Pinky Hope support Group, sharing their journey through cancer and Q n A
We sent our Jyothipura school children on an Educational day trip to Kolar to The diary there and KGF water filter. They also visited Antara Gangai, Someshwara temple, Srinivasapura kuruda malai and Muruga Malai.
The Club sponsored English teacher guided the kids to make trip reports in English. It was heart warming to listen to their excitement about the trip.
We registered our own trust – “Rotary Bangalore Shantiniketan Charitable Trust” to support the club in executing projects. In the long run, we should be able to get 80G exception and CSR funds, for our service projects.

We donated 6 nos of teacher tables and 6 nos of steel almirahs for each class in the primary school. We also provided 2 nos of steel Almirahs for the library and an internet connection for the computer lab.
We organize Pulse polio camp every year to immunize childen below the age of 5. Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Along with our partners, we have succeeded in bringing down case counts from 350,000 in 1988 to 2 in 2021. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. We are fortunate to not have polio cases in the country currently. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep the country polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
We set up 5 Nos. UV water purifiers for the support staff at PSN in association with PSAOWA. Funds were contributed by Senior Citizens Ladies group and a PSN well wisher.
We conducted a Cancer screening camp, along with Vydehi cancer center for all the staff of PSN. 79 staff members got themselves screened and fortunately, there were no positive diagnosis.
