President Ajay informed Board Members that a CSR contribution of Rs 3 crores had been received from Rtn. Dr. Nitin Desai for cataract eye surgeries. This would enable the target of 15,000 surgeries being met. Once Wockhardt Foundation comes on board, by next year we could achieve 18,000 surgeries. 6. Under the Gift of Life project, 50 pediatric surgeries will be done at the cost of Rs. 1.5 lakhs per surgery. 7.

Rtn. PP Ajay said that sustainability was always an issue for Rotaract and Interact clubs. He said RCPC had made great efforts in the past to integrate Rotaract and Interact clubs but their goals were different. 8. Rtn. Dr Saroj reported that the Ashray Foundation’s Menstrual Health awareness program was under way. For the HPV vaccine campaign for prevention of cervical cancer, she said that the need was to create awareness amongst parents, and then get them to sign a consent form agreeing to administering two doses of the vaccine to their daughters. 9. In his update on Global Grants, Rtn. PP Ravi said that closure reports had been accepted on all but one project. The GG for pan-India cataract surgery has been provisionally approved.

Villagers had also contributed funds for the pipelines. 11. President Ajay said that the charter for the Rotaract Club at Christ University in Lavasa was under way. 12. Rtn. Nitin said that nominations for the Vocational Service Awards would be reviewed and the nominees interviewed on Zoom.
