Period for Execution: Jul-2016

Beneficiary Community: Poor rural school going children

No.of persons Benefited:  172

Partners in Service: DEIS and Rotary Club of Pune Shivajinagar, RCPS

A brief description of the Activity: 

In the last couple of years, DEIS and RCPS observed that in rural areas, often the adolescent girls were dropping out of schools. The reasons for this were diagnosed as follows:

1. The arrangements for hygiene of adolescent girls were not adequate.

2. Often the girls lived 3 to 5 km from the school. If it was early morning school, then especially in winters, the girls would have to leave when it was still dark, as the girls needed an hour to two hours to walk to school. The parents did not feel that it was safe for their adolescent girls to walk to school while it was still dark.

3. The rural roads, leading to the school were often very lonely. 

In order to overcome the above problems, DEIS and RCPS came up with the ideas of CYCLE BHARARI, or donating cycles to rural girls of adolescent age.

For this funds were collected from DEIS members through Google Germany, RCPS club members and family members of about Rs. 3800 per cycle.

In the first tranche, 66 cycles were handed over on 1st July 2016 at ZP School Kasurdi. This enabled 66 girls with one friend each to commute safely to school and thus continue their education.

The programme was a great success. So much so that a young couple in Germany when they came to know of this, they decided to donate all their wedding gifts amount to CYCLE BHARARI. The name of this couple is Mr. Florian and Ms. Franzisca. The couple donated for some 20 cycles through DEIS. These were handed over on 28 July 2016 at ZP School Dahitane. This was a unique event in the history of DEIS and Rotary.

A brief description of the Activity:

Peace and Conflict Resolution / Prevention is one of the primary focus areas of Rotary. DEIS also through its various socio economic development projects endeavours to create conditions that foster and maintain peace in society. This focus area had not been attended to strongly by RCPS in last several years. In 2016 – 17, DEIS and RCPS came up with an innovative idea. As the sun rose on the horizon of the city of Pune in India, on 18th Feb 2017, a special event was taking shape at MIT College,Kothrud Campus. This day saw a new dawn when Development Education (International) Society, DEIS and Rotary International District 3131 presented the

“INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING AND PEACE SYMPOSIUM,” IUPS

in cooperation with World Peace Centre, MAEER’s MIT Pune.

PREFACE: Hosted by DEIS and RCPS this IUPS, Peace Symposium, was conceptualized by Rtn. Dr. Pradeep Wagh , President RCPS and General Secretary DEIS, when he participated in the ROTARY-UN DAY on 1 Nov 2014. ‘The world looks upon India as a HARBINGER of PEACE, the World looks upon India as a MESSENGER OF PEACE’, Pradeep thought. This kindled in him the desire to do something during his Presidential year 2016-17 for the ROTARY Focus area of Peace. When he discussed this with DG Prashant Deshmukh RID 3131 and his club members, the idea crystallized and slowly took the form of this IUPS.

INAUGURAL: The day 18th February began with Inaugural by Chief Guest Rtn. Paul Netzel, Trustee Chair Elect, The Rotary Foundation. Dr. Vishwanath Karad, Founder & Director General, WPC, MAEER’s MIT acted as perfect host as he lead Rtn. Paul Netzel and 30 odd speakers, from USA, Germany, Nepal, Australia and other Rotary Districts of India viz RID 3240, RID 3040, RID 3190, RID 3140, etc in a grand procession headed by a Military Band and some hundred students of MIT joining the procession. Swami Vivekanand Hall, where the Symposium was held, was full with some 700 delegates attending.

Member DEIS, Anuya Wagh Mistry laid a spiritual foundation to the Symposium by performing a Bharatnatyam invocation.

One of the Objectives of this Peace Symposium is to glean the ‘Divine thoughts’ each one has on PEACE. Another Objective is to know what ROTARY has to offer by way of Peace Scholarship, Global Grants etc. to promote International Understanding and Peace.”

DG Prashant Deshmukh welcomed the 700 odd delegates.
