Rajendra Rai and PP Rtn. Balachandra, the default choice of Leadership for Club Gulmohar was yet another seasoned Rotarian PHF Muralikrishnan, who has consistently demonstrated acumen to design and lead large projects since the year 1996.<\/p><p>The town of Tiptur in Karnataka, also known as \u201cKalpataru Nadu\u201d (land of the wish fulfilling tree), has been a favourite destination for Rtn.Muralikrishnan, for he has had the privilege of restoring several Hindu places of worship in that area, purely out of personal passion. Needless to say, Tiptur was the automatic choice for the Members of Rotary Gulmohar when they saw the need to identify a rural hinterland in the State to initiate community projects. Thus Tiptur emerged as the \u201ckarma bhoomi\u201d or the land of action for Rotary Gulmohar Satellite.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><script src=\"moz-extension:\/\/6a0e5520-5498-4b77-bc56-ac93c7c49ccc\/js\/app.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c7e69b\" data-id=\"7c7e69b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9150bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a9150bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20width=&#39;_w_&#39;%20height=&#39;_h_&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20_w_%20_h_&#39;%2F%3E\" data-czlz data-src=\"https:\/\/rotarygulmohar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/GRAINES-DARBRE-_C3-FLAMME-ROUGE-ROYAL-POINCIANA-Delonix-rmio5wbla12untyxdo0wcsk1o5vleg72qggfrib6z8.webp\" title=\"GRAINES-DARBRE-_C3-FLAMME-ROUGE-ROYAL-POINCIANA-Delonix\" alt=\"GRAINES-DARBRE-_C3-FLAMME-ROUGE-ROYAL-POINCIANA-Delonix\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-228459c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"228459c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f5bcf3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f5bcf3\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f6958b\" data-id=\"3f6958b\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b9c34b elementor-widget elementor-widget-cz_title\" data-id=\"3b9c34b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"cz_title.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><div><div class=\"cz_title clr cz_mobile_text_center cz_title_pos_inline\"><div class=\"cz_title_content\"><div class=\"cz_wpe_content\"><p>As early as mid-2019, Rotary Gulmohar Satellite had adopted 4 Government Schools which were in dilapidated condition and in need for urgent repairs and renovation. Rotary Gulmohar Satellite swung into action and spruced up these 4 schools, one of which is as old as 135 years and was built by the then Maharaja of Mysore; thus a historical place of learning was also resurrected &#8211; thanks to the initiatives of Rtn. Muralikrishnan and his Team. Further, 18 other schools also benefitted by the largesse of the Club, when children of these schools were provided access to books, computers, benches, uninterrupted power systems et al.,<\/p><p>The tryst with Tiptur continues; now with Rotary Gulmohar as a stand-alone Club, the influence of this club in and around Tiptur has only grown exponentially. At the time of this report being prepared, 4 interact clubs, 1 Satellite Club and 4 Rotaract Clubs have since been installed &#8211; all of which are under the care and guidance of Rotary Gulmohar.<\/p><p>The Club has identified several high-impact projects for that region; some of them being the setting up of a eye care centre (with facilities for surgery), afforestation of forest area, rejuvenation of lakes on 30 acres of land etc.,<\/p><p>\u201cWe have just begun and our journey shall continue\u201d, says Rtn.Muralikrishnan; \u201cmore so with the guidance and blessings of the District Governor and his Office bearers, mentors like PDG Rtn.Rai and PP Rtn Balachandra and other wellwishers of our Club\u201d he goes on to say.<\/p><p>Rotary Club Gulmohar led by Charter President Muralikrishnan, ably supported by Secretary Rtn.Sudha Rani and a very highly capable Board of Directors shall leave no stone unturned on this journey to make a difference in the lives of the less-privileged.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9eb9b1d

WHEEL EMBLEM<br \/><\/strong>The Rotary Wheel has 24 cogs with 6 spokes and was adopted in 1923.<\/p><p><strong>5 \u2013 ROTARY MOTTOES<\/strong><br \/>The first motto of Rotary International, \u201cHe Profits Most Who Serves Best,\u201d was approved at the second Rotary Convention, held in Portland, Oregon, in August 1911. The 1989 Council on Rotary Legislation established \u201cService Above Self\u201d as the principal motto of Rotary, since it best explains the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service.<\/p><p><strong>6 \u2013 THE 4-WAY TEST<\/strong><br \/>It was created by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932. The 4-Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943 and has been translated into more than 100 languages and published in thousands of ways. The message should be known and followed by all Rotarians. <br \/>\u201cOf the things we think, say or do: <br \/>1. Is it the TRUTH? <br \/>2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? <br \/>3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? <br \/>4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?\u201d<\/p><p><strong>8 \u2013 FOUR AVENUES OF SERVICE<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>\u201cClub Service\u201d involves all of the activities necessary for Rotarians to perform to make their club function successfully.<\/li><li>\u201cVocational Service\u201d is a description of the opportunity each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and utility of one\u2019s vocation to the other members of the club.<\/li><li>\u201cCommunity Service\u201d pertains to those activities which Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life ( of youth, aged, handicapped etc.,) in their community.<\/li><li>The Fourth Avenue, \u201cInternational Service,\u201d describes the many programs and activities which Rotarians undertake to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace.
