Some Interesting Rotary Facts

      " Some Interesting Rotary Facts "

1.  HISTORY OF ROTARY :-

Many of us would Know :

On 23rd Feb 1905 Paul Harris, Silvester Schiele, Hiram Shorey, Gustavus Loehr assembled a Room 711, Unity Building, where Paul mooted an idea and others nodded their head in Unison for a new kind of club. This could be treated as the meeting of the first Rotary club,

Not many would know :

Two of the forefathers of Rotary had only a short Rotary Life. Gus left the club very next year due to problems in his business. Hiram Shorey was elected as recording secretary of the club at third meeting, but he dropped out of the club and never really served as recording secretary.

If two of the four founder members of an organisation leave within an year, one can imagine how discouraging it would have been. But inspite of this early shock, the organisation grew to all parts of the world and has completed more than 105 years.

2.  100th RI PRESIDENT :- 

Many of us would Know :

RI President Kalyan Banerjee is the third Indian to be the President of Rotary International.

Not many would know :

He is the 100th President of Rotary International. Paul Harris was the first RI President and only President who served two years from 1910-12.

3. MORE PHF'S THAN ROTARIANS :-

There are 1.2 million Rotarians Worldwide. As of July 1 2011, there are 12,21,610 rotarians from 34,244 clubs and 530 districts all over the world.

Many of us would Know :

RYLA - Rotary Youth Leadership Awards is organised by several districts in the world including ours. In our district there are typically 200-300 delegates participating in this every year. Last year it was organised at Sonepat.

Polio Free India...

Finally, good news on the health front   !!!

Next year will be crucial for India's polio eradication programme, which appears on track with only one case reported so far this year.

According to an article in the recent issue of the journal by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: " If no wild polio virus is identified throughout the high-transmission season in 2012, India will be regarded as polio-free."

According to experts, this would put the World Health Organisation South-East Asia Region, of which India is a member, on track to be certified polio-free as early as 2014.

 

HURDLES AHEAD :-

However, the article says that despite the absence of WPV cases in India since January 2011, the risk remains for WPV circulation among migrant populations and residents of high-risk areas in western Uttar Pradesh and central Bihar and in migrant populations in other states.

"In West Bengal, families within certain migrant populations continue to have higher proportions of undervaccinated children than families in migrant populations and the general population aged less than two years in other states," it said.

 

Experts say even as India has served as a reservoir for importation to neighbouring countries and some distant countries, the country also is at risk for WPV importations from other polio-affected areas. "The recent polio outbreak in neighbouring China resulting from WPV importation from Pakistan is a reminder of the need for continued vigilance to ensure high population immunity in all states (with specific focus on migrant populations)," it added further.

 

Lauding its efforts on eradication of polio, experts said that " elimination of WPV in India will establish that WPV transmission can be interrupted even in the most challenging of settings."

 

The report on the status of India's polio fight was found mention in this week's issue of the journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which is published by the US Centers for Disease Control.

 

The last reported case of polio in India was recorded in mid-January, a more than nine-month polio-free stretch that the report calls 'unprecedented'. In 2010, there were 40 cases of polio in India from January to the end of October.

 

The report notes that in addition to the lack of new cases, a programme that looks for polio viruses in sewage in three key areas of the country isn't spotting viruses either. The sewage surveillance is considered an early warning system.

 

When polio viruses are found to be circulating in sewage, cases of paralytic polio often follow. "Viruses were last seen in the sewers of New Delhi in August 2010 and in the sewers of Mumbai in November of last year," it said.

 

So Friends, we are close to achieving our goal for the Polio free India, atleast.

 

Let's not stop here and be ready and vigilant.
