Rotaract SouthAsia Multi District Information

Organization

(RSAMDIO)????.....

ROTARACT SOUTH ASIA Multi District Information Organization (RSA MDIO) is a multi-district information organisation (MDIO) serving Rotaract clubs across South Asia. Rotaract clubs can be either community or college based and each Rotaract club is responsible for organizing their own programs. The programs range from a trek to the local hillocks, to eye check up camps, health camps, movie screenings for underprivileged kids, literacy programs, and awareness drives for traffic awareness, anti-dowry and energy conservation.

Rotaract clubs enable Rotaractors to address communitx needs, enhance member’s professional skills and promote international understanding through friendship, fellowship and service while having lots of fun and making new friends…

Clubs meet every week and feature speakers, discussions and visits to other clubs. Rotaractors also join together for service projects, social and cultural activities and leadership workshops.

Beyond the club level, Rotaractors can take the opportunity to attend conferences, to get involved in projects and to participate in training seminars on a local, national and international level.

Rotaract makes a real difference to the lives of our members and to the thousands of people our projects help.

From the Passionate President of RSA MDIO ….

I am very thankful to Rotaract Club of Dombivili who took this

vonderful initiatiue to publish this “International Footprints”. I

congratulate Rtr.Varsha, Rtr. Gaurav and their team for

successful accomplishment of this task as it will bring all

districts much closer and each and every district will get

knowledge of other districts. I appreciate the efforts of all the

DRRs who participated in this bulletin as they have very hectic

schedule still they sent the data for this.

First of all, my heartiest congratulations and compliments to each and every outgoing Rotaract

officer for their successful tenure and my congratulations and best wishes to new teams.

This year as the president of Rotaract South Asia MDIO, I have four main tasks which have to be

accomplished with your cooperation. First, to bring all South Asian District on a single platform.

Second, to print Rotaract South Asia Directory which is in process. Third, to print RSA MDIO

Monthly bulletin and forth is to reach to each and every Rotaractor of South Asia. These tasks are

possible only with your support and cooperation.

The main motto of Rotaract is “To deuelop Professional and Leadership Skills in Youth”. So Rotaract

is the only movement which provides opportunity of Self-Realization and Self-Development to youth.

In present era, these two things are so much needed to bring revolution and it is seen over time that

revolution is always brought by youth. So my dream is to see 100% youth of world as Rotaractors.

My dear friends, there are three points which you should keep in mind. First, Work is Worship. Your

vork vill design xour identification. So don’t make ewcuses and perform according to xour abilities.

Second, Don’t think that onlx President and Secretary have responsibility and only they will work

during projects. Take the responsibility and show your talent. Third, whatever you do, do it for a

purpose. Don’t do anxthing vithout anx reason and there is no concept of bad-good activity. The

goodness or badness of any activity depends upon the reason and method to perform that activity. I

wish all the members of Rotaract a great year ahead.

Yours in Rotaract

From The Desk Of Director North RSA MDIO……..

We all know that Rotaract means Rotary in Action. But apart from it when I tried to define it according to my perception of this organisation, i found that it is more than that R=Responsible O=Opportunistic T=Talented A=Adorable R=Rational A=Ambitious C=Committed T=Thoughtful O=Objective R=Rare Thus a rotaract club is a group of responsible

youth committed to society, full of talent & ambition, who, with their creativity and positive attitude for adaptations and change, can make this world a better place to live.We therefore must have to understand that we ourselves have to initiate the change we wish to make. Stop using polythene bags, stop throwing rubbish here and there, stop wasting water, because only when we will stop these, we will be able to tell others the same. This year when we are supposed to work for lightening up Rotary, first let us lighten up our own selves. And for that RSA MDIO is trying really hard. Starting from day one of its foundation it is working for the upliftment of Rotaract as a whole in south Asia. It would be really nice if we, all districts of south Asia, come together on a single platform like this to interact with each other. That will help us to reach to people more effectively and to carry out our work in a more uniform and meaningful way. The best possible project for all of us together can be "TEACH" which is the need of time and next goal of Rotary in India. Lastly, i wish that the change which i have got through rotaract in me, and the way it has changed my life, be it you all too.Thank you so much all the initiators of 'International Footprints' for implementing such a wonderful idea and giving us a platform to share our thoughts. As a director of north zone this year, it would be my effort to bring all the districts as a member in RSA MDIO not for the sake of membership but for creating a much easier platform for a rotaractor for fellowship and development. Have a nice Rotaraction.... Dr. Praharsh Rajyaguru (BHMS | MD) IPDRR | RID 3060 Director - North 2014-15 | RSA MDIO

Treasurer RSA MDIO 2014-15

From the Desk of Director of RSA MDIO…..

Dear Rotaractor Friends, If we understand that we all are related to each other than most of the problems in the world would end. It is also equally important to note that activity done in part of the world always has impact on other countries i.e. one’s footprint creates impression and has impact on others as-well. The best example to illustrate this is Climate Change Crisis that we South Asian Nations are facing. Every country in South Asia are facing problem of Climate Change, may it be increase in sea level, or Glacier Lake Outburst Flood, Change in Weather Pattern, Reduction of Fresh Water Bodies or Melting of Snow in the Himalayas. Someone need to take the initiative to break the ice in-between the countries in the region so that we start being in communication and understand that we

need collaboration to solve this regional issues which is also Global Issue now. This will help us to understand that problem of one country is not just a problem of theirs but in-fact is global issue and requires global support to solve it.

This E-Bulletin in that essence is an ice-breaker for all of us to understand our ‘International Footprints’, vhich is being published vith an objectiue of bringing xouth of the region together, to be connected.

I accepted to be in RSA Board because I belieue that ‘Unitx is Strength’ and ve in our region have many common challenges and opportunities that we need to address together. We need to realize that we are the Youngest Region in the World today and our course of action determines Future of not just this Region but also World at large. All these issues can be addressed properly only through collaborative effort and resource mobilization. I believe that this group has that responsibility and also energy to be good advocate with regard to many regional issues and I am expecting the same and will do the same being appointed as Nepal Coordinator in RSA MDIO Board for this Year.

Rtr. Ashish Chaulagain

Director , RSA MDIO

From the Desk of Chairman of Disease Prevention of RSA

MDIO

Fellow Rotaractors, My personal vision is to promote fellowship through service to the society. All the clubs need to promote peace, good will and better

understanding so that the actual objective of Rotaract could be

fulfilled by us. Rotaractors should try to focus on Rotary’s various

thrust areas for the society, we all need to continue and involve in many sustainable community and flagship projects. As South East

Asia has given an assignment to end of illiteracy, in both clubs and

districts level we together must put our efforts jointly to work on it. Execute various innovative thoughts and ideas that how we can

improve the public image of Rotaract through our projects and

programmes. Now, we all the districts and clubs in south Asia should try to work on a same line, so that it will create a new zeal,

enthusiasm and bonding between every Rotaractors and also invite

other youths to join our movement and all together can start working on a better tomorrow.

As I have been appointed as the chairman of disease prevention by RSA MDIO Board I will try to give my

100% competence to justify it. I will create awareness among the Rotaract clubs and districts to specify some

dreadful and contagious diseases to aware the public mass and society in general. My work should be to intimate properly to the clubs about those diseases and what necessary precautions and measures could be

taken in time to overcome it for the public.

The areas that are covered under my avenue are disease prevention, health hygiene, sanitation, welfare of public and others. As per my knowledge in those areas of service, I will try to find out all the issues related to

those areas and will take some necessary steps and methods so that we can achieve our target for the service to

mankind and society. As a Rotaractor in general I will always try to implement my profession as a doctor to do the better service that I can for the development of down trodden and under privileged society.

After I received an invitation mail from the President RSA MDIO 2014-15, I then thought to be a part of the board because to keep my district and the clubs in our district to be in a loop with the activities of board.

Whatever we do the projects or service in our community and society in our district, we can directly inform to

others easily after only being a part of MDIO board. In the other hand, any information to RSA MDIO

officially from RI regarding projects or promoting Rotaract activities could be circulated to the clubs in my district easily by me. I really feel privileged and honoured to be a representative member of RSA MDIO board

on behalf of my district.

I just want to share with other Rotaractors globally that enjoy your youth with a responsibility for a noble

cause. That’s why explore youth and engage Rotaract by connecting and making a difference. I also want to

quote a line for all that we are privileged to be associated with one of the largest youth movement of the world. So, please find your place to use the best of Rotaract by making your life more colourful. Hence share

Rotaract globally and according to the theme of this year we must try our best to Light up Rotaract!!!

Wayanad –Calicut - Kozhikode (Calicut), Cannanore - Kasargod INNOVATIVE PROJECT - WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT Any water that has been adversely affected in quality by anthropogenic influence. Municipal wastewater is usually conveyed in a combined sewer or sanitary sewer, and treated at a wastewater treatment plant. Treated wastewater is discharged into receiving water via an effluent sewer. Wastewaters generated in areas without access to centralized sewer systems rely on on-site wastewater systems. These typically comprise a septic tank, drain field, and optionally an on-site treatment unit. Sewage is the subset of wastewater that is contaminated with feces or urine, but is often used to mean any wastewater. Sewage includes domestic, municipal, or industrial liquid waste products disposed of, usually via a pipe or sewer (sanitary or combined), sometimes in a cesspool emptier. Sewerage is the physical infrastructure, including pipes, pumps, and screens, channels etc. used to convey sewage from its origin to the point of eventual treatment or disposal. It is found in all types of sewage treatment, with the exception of septic systems, which treat sewage on site. Sewage disposal In some urban areas, sewage is carried separately in sanitary sewers and runoff from streets is carried in storm drains. Access to either of these is typically through a manhole. During high precipitation periods a sanitary sewer overflow can occur, forcing untreated sewage to flow back into the environment. This can pose a serious threat to public health and the surrounding environment.Sewage may drain directly into major watersheds with minimal or no treatment. When untreated, sewage can have serious impacts on the quality of an environment and on the health of people. Pathogens can cause a variety of illnesses. Some chemicals pose risks even at very low concentrations and can remain a threat for long periods of time because of bioaccumulation in animal or human tissue. Treatment There are numerous processes that can be used to clean up wastewaters depending on the type and extent of contamination. There are two basic approaches: to use the waste in the water as a resource (such as constructed wetlands) or strictly as pollution (such as the majority of today's treatment plants). Most wastewater is treated in industrial-scale energy intensive wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which include physical, chemical and

biological treatment processes. However, the use of septic tanks and other On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF) is widespread in rural areas. The most important aerobic treatment system is the activated sludge process, based on the maintenance and recirculation of a complex biomass composed by micro-organisms able to absorb and adsorb the organic matter carried in the wastewater. Anaerobic wastewater treatment processes are also widely applied in the treatment of industrial wastewaters and biological sludge. Some wastewater may be highly treated and reused as reclaimed water. Increasingly, for most wastewaters ecological approaches using reed bed systems such as constructed wetlands are being used. Tertiary treatment is being increasingly applied and most common technologies are micro filtration or synthetic membranes. After membrane filtration, the treated wastewater is indistinguishable from waters of natural origin of drinking quality (without its minerals). Nitrates can be removed from wastewater by natural processes in wetlands but also via intensive microbial denitrification, for which a small amount of methanol is typically added to provide the bacteria with a source of carbon. Ozone wastewater treatment is also growing in popularity, and requires the use of an ozone generator, which decontaminates the water as ozone bubbles percolate through the tank but is energy intensive. Disposal of wastewaters from an industrial plant is a difficult and costly problem. Most petroleum refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants have onsite facilities to treat their wastewaters so that the pollutant concentrations in the treated wastewater comply with the local and/or national regulations regarding disposal of wastewaters into community treatment plants or into rivers, lakes or oceans. Constructed wetlands are being used in an increasing number of cases as they provided high quality and productive on-site treatment. Other industrial processes that produce a lot of waste-waters such as paper and pulp production has created environmental concern, leading to development of processes to recycle water use within plants before they have to be cleaned and disposed. Reuse Treated wastewater can be reused as drinking water, in industry (cooling towers), in artificial recharge of aquifers, in agriculture (70 percent of Israel's irrigated agriculture is based on highly purified wastewater) and in the rehabilitation of natural ecosystems. Use of untreated wastewater by agriculture Around 90% of wastewater produced globally remains untreated, causing widespread water pollution, especially in low-income countries. Increasingly, agriculture is using untreated wastewater for irrigation. Cities provide lucrative markets for fresh produce, so are attractive to farmers. However, because agriculture has to compete for increasingly scarce water resources with industry and municipal users, there is often no alternative for farmers but to use water polluted with urban waste directly to water their crops. In order to make the waste water to be managed correctly this project has been taken as an innovative project so that the waste water can be treated properly and utilized in a correct manner. Steps are being taken to create awareness on the wastewater management among the society especially among the students who are going to be the future leaders of the society and to farmers who provides us with the food. DISTRICT THEME “Alvaxs bear in mind that xour ovn resolution to succeed is more important than any other” – Abraham Lincoln. The constant need to achieve is perhaps something that blinds us all, in the Rotaract movement. Despite striving hard to succeed, it‟ s only natural, that sometimes you encounter failure, along the way. However, amidst this all, one must realize that whether one succeeds or fails, there‟ s always a lesson to be learned, success shouldn‟ t go to your head and failure shouldn‟ t dishearten you, any more than needed. What one ought to focus on is

deliver the Energetic Attitude to reach the Triumph. From being a teen to a young Rotaractor is what stays by your side and helps you evolve over the years we learn with experience, experiences of success, of failure. The real way of leading a successful life. We have chosen the theme for the year 2014-15 “Energetic, Attitude and Triumph” ENERGETIC: Rotaract; a place where you learn that not only not only is it fine to dream but also you are fully capable of achieving them. ATTITUDE: Rotaract; a place where you become more understanding, more assertable and evolve into a smarter more confident individual. TRIUMPH: Rotaract, a platform that helps individuals to reach triumphs. Let us join together in the noble cause of developing ourselves and others as good leaders.
