The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

THE FOUR WAY TEST OF THE THINGS WE THINK, SAY OR DO

INVOCATION

We, the Rotarians are dedicated to maintain the dignity and worthiness of our calling by the acceptan ce and promotio n of high ethica l standa rds, and to regard our business or profession as an opportunity to express ourselves in service to society.

2) Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

LIFE SKETCH OF PAUL P HARRIS (1868-1947) FOUNDER OF ROTARY

Paul Percival Harris, the founder of Rotary and second of six children to George N. Harris and Cornelia Bryan Harris, was born in Racine, Wisconsin on 19 April 1868. He grew at Wallingford, Vermont in the care of his paternal grandparent since the age of three. A man with wide knowledge and varied experience, received Bachelor degree for Physical Culture from the University of Vermont and L.L.B degree form the University of Iowa. He also received honorary LL.D. degree from the University of Vermont. He was married to Jean Thomson Harris, a Scottish girl and a co-member of the Chicago Prairie Club. Before settling in Chicago in 1896 to practice law, he worked briefly as a newspaper reporter, a business teacher, stock company actor, a cowboy and a salesman for marble and granite. He traveled extensively in the U.S.A. and Europe. One evening when he visited the home of a professional friend, he came across a number of tradesman in their businesses while strolling in the quite neighborhood after the dinner. During this visit, Paul conceived the idea of a club which will bring the professionals from different trades together in a friendly spirit. On 23 February, 1905, together with Sylvester Schiele, a coal merchant, Gustavus Loehr, a mining engineer and Haram Shorey, a merchant tailor, formed the first club and named it 'Rotary' as the members met in rotation at their places of business. As membership grew the idea spread to other cities, neighborhood and across the national boundaries. Paul Percival Harris became the first President of the National Association of Rotary Clubs (in 1910) and also of the International Association of Rotary Clubs (later renamed as Rotary International) in the year 1912. Until his death on 27 January 1947, Paul was an active member of Rotary. Today, the Rotary covers over 162 countries with 1.2 million members in over 31,000 Clubs. It has touched the lives of millions in every corner of the world and can rightly claim that the sun never sets in Rotary world.

From the Editor's Pen

2020–21 Rotary New Year Greetings to all Rotarians, families and well wishers of Rotary Club of Dhaka and beyond. The Club has completed another milestone, the 83rd, in its long colourful history of activities filled with innumerable projects and programmes in service to the humanity. Rotary Club of Dhaka, founded in December 1937, has been serving the community from the inception which events have been reflected in ‘The Rotarian’, the official magazine of Rotary International as early as 1941 (see pictures on the right). Addicted to the tradition of successes and achievements, our Club President 2020-21 Rtn Shafayat Ullah promises a full year of activities for reaching a new height in the 84th milestone of the Club. Although under COVID 19 restrictions the Club activities are continuing in the new mode of virtual environment. The humanitarian services have increased manifold to meet the new challenges for mitigating the sufferings of tens and thousands of poor and vulnerable people worst affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. The Club bulletin the ‘Dhaka Rotary News’ has been serving the Club members for over seven decades reflecting the news, views and events of the Club even under crisis moments like WWII, 1971 Liberation War and the current pandemic situation. The Club bulletin has not failed in its objective of communicating with the members on the activities of the Club and the Rotary world and keeping the moral high. I, on behalf of the Editorial Board, wish the President, the Board and Club members for a very spirited Rotary Year 2020-21 with a virus of humanitarian services and fellowship in keeping with the RI President’s theme for RY 2020-21 ‘ROTARY OPENS OPPORTUNITIES’.

Gratitude from the Installation Chairman

Rotary Club of Dhaka (RCD) being the first Rotary club of Bangladesh, has always led by example. RCD’s 84th Installation ceremony of the board of directors for the Rotary year 2020 - 21, happening over a digital platform on the backdrop of COVID 19 pandemic is another shining example of how the club has learned to adopt itself over a huge time span of 80+ years. By the good grace of Almighty God the club will live beyond the hundreds…., because our ritual is simple: Service to the Humanity in need. Humanity has a great divide: the haves and the have nots. We the Rotarians have made it our business to be of some help to the people who are less privileged and in need of help. We the proud members of the first Rotary club in Bangladesh -- that first began its journey back in 1937, are some dedicated bunch of stubborn people who have made projects the main backbone of our Rotary existence. Ever since joining Rotary and RC Dhaka in 2001, I have been witnessing: how every year the RC Dhaka immerses itself in literally hundreds of projects that directly contributes not only to the wellbeing of the target population but also helps bring smiles to the happy faces of the RCD volunteers, other Rotary clubs members, participating members of various NGOs (local and overseas), government bodies, etc. – who ever prefers to partner with us. Our inclusiveness has also been attracting volunteers from other Rotary clubs from Bangladesh and abroad to champion the cause of service to the humanity in need. Rotary club of Dhaka indeed shines like a lighthouse in the Rotary landscape of Bangladesh and beyond. Tonight we are shinning like a diamond, with the virtual presence of our future Rotary International President, our very own RIPE Rtn Shekhar Mehta. Thank you, thank you thank you dear global Rotary leader for sharing your valuable time with us. Your virtual presence in the installation ceremony of this heritage Rotary club will inspire all the members of our club and also thousands who are right now glued with their digital screen. First ever installation over a digital platform has really opened new opportunities to all of us to connect to a wider audience. So echoing Rotary International President Rtn Holger Knaack’s theme, we surely can vouch: ‘Rotary Opens Opportunities’. Thank you all very very much for enabling us to connect with all of you. We shall overcome some day….till than stay safe.

13 June 2020 Barrister Shafayat Ullah, 2020-21 President of Rotary club of Dhaka, Bangladesh Dear Rotary Club of Dhaka Officer, I congratulate you on your installation as a club officer for 2020-21. I hope the upcoming year will be challenging, yet fulfilling. Your leadership team will collaborate to build a strong, engaged club dedicated to strengthening your community, both locally and globally. You will use your years of experience as a Rotarian and as a leader to provide inspiration, motivation, and guidance as we work together to achieve our goals for Rotary. Use this opportunity to grow your membership, to work closely with Rotaractors, and to continue to improve our virtual meeting skills. Now is the time for change in Rotary to meet the world’s challenges. In Rotary, we are not afraid to confront some of the world’s most critical and widespread humanitarian issues. When we vaccinate an infant against polio, teach a young adult how to read, or bring water to a village by building a well, we are creating a better world for future generations. We serve the global community, and we’re just getting started. It is honor to work beside you as we guide our fellow Rotarians to another successful year. I am relying on you as Rotary Opens Opportunities in 2020-21. Sincerely,

Holger Knaack President Rotary International 2020-21

Holger Knaack RI President

2020 – 2021 Presidential Theme Rotary International President-elect Holger Knaack is encouraging Rotarians to seize the many opportunities Rotary offers to enrich their lives and the communities they serve. Knaack, a member of the Rotary Club of Herzogtum Lauenburg-Mölln, Germany, revealed the 2020-21 presidential theme, Rotary Opens Opportunities, to incoming district governors at the Rotary International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, on 20 January. Rotary isn’t just a club for people to join, but rather “an invitation to endless opportunities,” said Knaack, who becomes president on 1 July. He emphasized that Rotary creates pathways for members to improve their lives and the lives of those they help through service projects. “We believe that our acts of service, big and small, create opportunities for people who need our help,” Knaack said. He added that Rotary creates leadership opportunities and gives members the chance to travel the world to put their service ideas into action and make lifelong connections. “Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere,” said Knaack. Changing for the future Knaack also urged members to embrace change so Rotary can expand and thrive. Rather than setting a specific target for increasing the number of members, Knaack said he’s asking clubs and districts to think about how to grow in a sustainable and organic way. He wants clubs to focus on keeping current members engaged and adding new members who are the right fit for their club. “We will capture this moment to grow Rotary, making it stronger, more adaptable, and even more aligned with our core values.” – Holger Knaack, RI President 2020-21 “We need to stop thinking of new members as people we can mark down as statistics and then forget about,” Knaack said. “Every new member changes us a little bit. That person brings a new perspective, new experiences. We need to embrace this constant renewal. We will grow stronger as we learn from new members.” Knaack pointed to Rotary’s Action Plan as a compass that can guide clubs as they evolve. He recommended that every club have a strategic plan meeting at least once a year. At that meeting, clubs should ask where they want to be in five years and how they can bring more value to their members. Knaack also wants to see more women in leadership roles and see Rotaractors play an integral role in how new clubs are formed and run. He encouraged district leaders to create new club models and rethink what it means to be in Rotary, and allow young people to be the architects of these new clubs. “We have to be open to new approaches, and creating unique clubs for younger people is just part of the solution,” said Knaack. “Let Rotaractors decide what kind of Rotary experience works best for them. These young people are bright, energetic, and they get things done.” In stressing the need for Rotary members to embrace change, Knaack noted that time won’t slow down for Rotary: “We will not let rapid change defeat us. We will capture this moment to grow Rotary, making it stronger, more adaptable, and even more aligned with our core values.”

July 2020 To the Members of the Rotary Club of Dhaka Dear fellow Rotarians: I want to congratulate you on the installation of your 2020-21 club officers. Although the details of each position differ from year to year and place to place, your ultimate responsibility is the same as mine, as we strive to implement President Knaack’s theme of Rotary Opens Opportunities. We work to move Rotary forward, doing whatever we can do to make the part of Rotary that we’re responsible for as effective and efficient as it can be. We make sure that we are transparent and accountable while changing the lives of as many people as possible. And we ensure that Rotary provides the best possible experience to its members and continues to grow, all while remaining useful to the world. We belong to an organization that has had a profound impact on our world through effective, sustainable service. This thought should give us strength in the face of today’s profound challenges, from overcoming global pandemics to addressing deep social inequity and injustice. It’s only by coming together that we’re able to accomplish so much. Without active members like you, Rotary wouldn’t be the organization it is today. As our vision statement says: Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change —— across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Congratulations again on the installation of your club officers. I look forward to having you join me to show how Rotary Opens Opportunities, something our world needs now more than ever. Sincerely,

John Hewko General Secretary & CEO, Rotary International

Message from Rtn M Rubayet Hossain MPHF B District Governor R I District 3281

Dear President Barrister Shafayat, “Megh dekhe keu korisne voy arale tar surjo hase…….” or “….… Sonkotero kolponate hoyona mriyoman” Let me begin with this popular and inspirational extracts from Tagore. If you keep reading both the poems, you’ll be wondering how each line of them suits the situation we all have been experiencing now! I also can’t resist myself in quoting from Jonathan Lockwood Huie : “Trust in Light. Darkness is not a force - it is merely the absence of light. Observe that when a light is brought to a dark place, the darkness disappears. Sadness is similar - when joy is brought to suffering, the sadness disappears. Open yourself to the Light! So we don’t need to panic, we have not only to stand on our feet, but have to move forward. Of course, the Covid-19 pandemic has been putting us in a difficult situation in many ways and we have to accept the reality. But we also can’t deny the fact that this pandemic has opened many opportunities that President Holger’s theme this year reflects in many ways. Though we have to maintain physical distancing, yet the crisis has taught us how to keep ourselves more connected and we’ve created opportunities to reach out a huge section of the community – who very badly need food and healthcare at the moment. As a part of Rotary’s response, before taking office as District Governor, I have already initiated and launched the first ever telemedicine project “Rotary Medical Support Center” for Rotarians and their families and cooked food program “Meals Everyday” for the hungry people at different places, with support from all the Presidents. Rotary and the Rotarians are believer of changes and facing challenges. They have come across many and have beautifully adapted those changes and successfully won the battle with those challenges during last over a century. It’s Rotary that has created history to help eradicating POLIO from the face of the earth. Rotary has been firmly footed on its “Service Above Self” motto and now it’s been transformed to our new vision statement: “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.” In order to fulfilling that vision requires a plan. To begin a new Rotary Year with effect from 01 July, the Presidents and clubs have to set the plan in line with the RI Strategic Priorities which will remain in place for the next five years. Highlight of the priorities are: to increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance participant engagement and increase our ability to adapt. Rotary club of Dhaka, being the first ever Rotary Club in Bangladesh has played significant role in being the true pioneer of Rotary in this part of the world. Among innumerable services, establishing the first Cancer Detection Center, the first Passenger Shades will ever remain written in golden letters. In the process of growing for the last 83 years, this club has produced as many as 13 District Governors, including Rotary icon like late PDG Iftekharul Alam. Let me conclude by congratulating you and your new board to carry forward the legacy that has been built so far. Cicero, a Roman Philosopher once said: A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues. I wish, I do have that thankful heart for you and all members of your club for your generous services for the humanity. All the best wishes for the first time ever virtual Installation Ceremony, Rotary Opens Opportunities. Stay Safe, Stay Blessed.

Message from Rtn Barrister Mutasim Billah Faruqui MPHF District Governor Elect Rotary International, District 3281 “Rotary has to change and will change. And even if some fellow Rotarians will complain that it does not look like their old Rotary, we have to change.” - Holger Knaack, RI President “The First Rotary Club in Bangladesh” that comes first in all of our minds, when we name, Rotary Club of Dhaka, with a history of 80+ years. “To connect himself with others in a new city” was the compelling reason for Paul P. Harris, when he came to Chicago as a young lawyer, forming Rotary in 1905. The same inspiration had driven HR Wilkinson and his mates to form Rotary Club of Dhaka, the first Rotary club in Bangladesh, in 1937, only 32 years after the very first emergence of Rotary on this earth. Rotary’s distinct structure makes ways to connect professionally and communities for strong and lasting relationships. Our services connect us to people who need our help, allowing us to create opportunities for changing lives in communities around the world. RC Dhaka, since its inception, has never left any opportunity unturned in the mission of changing lives; whether it's the first ever public shade in Dhaka or bringing smiles on our loving children’s faces with sleeping kits around the country, or it is the cancer detection unit or making shelters for homeless etc. etc. In one single word, RC Dhaka is defined as the ‘inspiring’ to keep ‘opening opportunities’. Things have changed exponentially since Rotary was formed in 1905, but the way we do Rotary hasn’t necessarily kept pace with that change. Rotary International has also challenged us all to address declining membership numbers and we know cost and culture barriers exist for young people in joining Rotary. For some clubs and members, change can be frightening and challenging but change to others can be exciting and stimulating. Change should not be feared because progress cannot be resisted as history has proved in so many spheres. Change is an opportunity to create something new and better and more relevant to the community for the future. We need to see the big picture and face the challenges: • • •

Traditional Rotary’ as many know it is coming to an end; NOW is an opportunity to create something new and more relevant; Rotary needs every member to help the ‘new Rotary’ emerge.

I believe RC Dhaka shall keep opening opportunities to make lasting changes in the lives of less privileged, and as well taking leadership in adapting with new changes of Rotary in coming days. My urge to RC Dhaka is to share their stories more and more, inside and outside Rotary to strengthen the image of Rotary with pride and glory. My heartfelt gratitude to the Shinning President Dr. Niaz Abdur Rahim and his team for upholding the long heritage of RC Dhaka with successes through meaningful initiatives during their tenure. I firmly believe the President for 2020-21 Barrister Shafayat Ullah and his team shall keep continuing the legacy of RC Dhaka for taking to a greater height with exemplary projects and programs. A big thanks to today’s event chair PP Mahmudur Rahman and his team for a wonderful arrangement despite the challenges in this corona pandemic. This is an example and inspiration for all of us. Let’s together make a smiling world by opening opportunities with our works and words through Rotary. Barrister Mutasim Billah Faruqui MPHF DGN (DG Year 2021-22), RID 3281, Bangladesh

Message from M Khairul Alam, PHF B MD PHS Immediate Past District Governor 2019-20 R I District 3281 Dear President Shafayet Ullah, Congratulations on your installation as the president for 2020-21. My warm felicitations to all your club members on this happy occasion of 84th Installation Ceremony of the club-- the celebration of a new journey you began on 1st July. My best gratitude to all the past leaders of the club paved the way to success. Sincerest thanks to Shining President IPP Dr. Niaz Abdur Rahman for all his endeavor and achievements last year and hope success will be continued and Rotary Club of Dhaka, the oldest Rotary club of the district with a history of glorious journey, will be taken to a newer height under able leadership of President Rtn Barrister Shafayet Ullah. I also express my deep appreciation to all the wonderful Rotarians of the district who have given me their wholehearted support and strength to ensure that we did have a good Rotary Year. I truly believe without your cooperation, support and understanding it would not have been possible for me to have shouldered this heavy responsibility of being your District Governor. The office of the District Governor demands many responsibilities, commitments and expectations, primarily, responsibilities to support The Rotary Foundation, Membership Growth & Retention and enhance the Public Image. With all humility and the support and cooperation from my team and all the Rotarians of the district, I must say that we have performed remarkably well in all these areas. In Rotary Foundation we witnessed that Rotarians contributed very generously which attained the district a prestigious status. I am indeed grateful to all of my fellow Rotary friends. It is rather encouraging that Rotarians in our District are supporting our own Rotary Foundation. In Membership Growth & Retention we have a net gain, which is a new record for the district. In the area of Public Image and creating mass awareness, I must commend that, both the District and the Clubs, for having received much positive coverage in the media such as TV, Radio and the Newspapers. I had the opportunity to connect many people during the year and was deeply touched by the overwhelming response from the Rotarians. I was amazed to have seen and witnessed the level of dedication and commitment from the Rotarians in organizing projects and serving people which have increased our impact to the Community. In the area of humanitarian efforts especially when our Country was affected with the floods, when Covid-19 pandemic spreads helplessness and uncertainty around the world, we spared no efforts to support the victims in the form of kind and Cash donations as well as physical and moral support and assistance. Many of our Rotary Volunteers are still helping the victims to ease their hardship. Rotary Connects the World is not the theme for a year only, I believe, it is a statement to connect and take action to open more opportunities and make Rotary stronger. The 2020-21 Presidential theme: Rotary Opens Opportunities. RI President Holger Knaack asks Rotarians to create opportunities that strengthen their leadership, help put service ideas into action and improve the lives of those in need. “Rotary isn’t just a club for people to join but rather than an invitation to endless opportunities.” Keep doing everything good we are doing now. As more you connect, more opportunities you open. Keep continuing to stand shoulder to shoulder to uphold those very principles that make us Rotarians. In this situation of Covid-19 pandemic, definitely we would be placed in a new normal world, which I believe, will open more opportunities to expand our reach, increase our impact. Each day provides its own gift and imprints numerous good things in our life. Share it with friends, relatives and with others. Wishing Installation Chair PP Mahmudur Rahman and his team a great success in organizing the ceremony in this new normal condition. Hope the installation ceremony will be festive and enjoyable to you all and wish this happy occasion a grand success. Sincerely yours, M Khairul Alam, PHF B MD PHS Immediate Past District Governor ARRFC Zone 1B, D3281, Bangladesh

PP Nasim Majumder’s followed by the most prestigious ‘Tree Plantation Project’ one can ever hope for as RI Director Rafael Garcia III planted the first tree of the year. Since then the dedicated and ever enthusiastic members of Rotary Club of Dhaka sailed our ship through calm and rough seas to achieve wonders. We faced our first challenge when Cyclone Bulbul confronted us in November 2019, during our Sleeping Kit Distribution, we were working near the eye of the cyclone in Shyamnagar, Sundarban distributing sleeping kits to needy children. But that did not stop us, we rescheduled and finished our program by reaching out to 8000 children – the highest ever in one distribution program in the world. Our school programs, our Global and district Grants, fighting cancer and other health and eye surgery projects all continued at full steam. In between the serious community work we had fun in the various family gatherings and social programs involving the ladies in Rotary, Rotary Lets and Rotaractors. But the biggest challenge lied ahead when the world was engulfed by the Covid-19/Corona pandemic leading to a global cataclysm. This event changed social, corporate and economic orders. In this hour of uncertainty and need, especially for the marginalized and sudden jobless people, the members of Rotary Club of Dhaka jumped in with their generous contribution and personal involvement to co-ordinate one of the biggest Corona related Project starting from awareness, to hand sanitizer distribution, hand washing stations, PPE and essential food Items distribution and now finally capacity building of Covid hospitals. Though unfortunate for mankind, but the Covid-19 situation opened up doors and avenues of services at a scale we could not envision. We involved 22 Rotary Clubs, over 80 Non-Rotary organizations, over 130 compassionate individuals and with active collaboration of organizations like Shobai Mile Shobar Dhaka and BD Clean, we reached out to over 70 thousand families. That was a job well done. Must mention the role played by Rtn. PP Bayezidur Rahman who orchestrated the total Corona related Projects. Looking at our final statistics, during 2019-2000 we successfully completed over 160 projects where collectively we put in 51 thousand volunteer hours with a total value of donated goods and services amounting to over Taka 2.75 Crores along with cash contributions of over Taka 7.7 Crores. This monumental achievement was only possible with active and energetic participation of each and every member of our club. I knew that all the Club members would be there with me, but I could not imagine the tremendous and all out support they would provide me throughout the year. I was fortunate to have an excellent Board of Directors, each and every one deserves special thanks but I must mention our most efficient and energetic Club Secretary Rtn. Md. Sameer Uddin, he was always by my side throughout the year, taking charge of all the events and did much more than was expected of him to make my life easy. So, what did I learn in the twelve months: Rotary taught me organizational skills – from planning, to finance to execution with total accountability. Rotary showed me how to enrich interpersonal relationships and build interpersonal skills like communication, listening, negotiation, problem-solving, decision-making and assertiveness. Finally, Rotary taught me compassion and giving, and introduced me to hundreds of Rotarians with kind hearts dedicated to service to humanity. Many of whom will be lifelong friends. What a rich organization Rotary is – it has the power not only to produce leaders but true human beings. I happily pass on the baton of the President to Rtn. Barrister Shafayet Ullah and his dynamic Board to lead us next year and reach heights which the club has never experienced before.

The motto of service and fellowship of Rotary has been the cornerstone of my involvement with Rotary; and its humanitarian projects gives me an immense satisfaction when I see the joy on the faces of beneficiaries. Our individual contribution may be small but our combined efforts are the steps towards making the world a better place. As a club we have completed 160 projects during 2019-20. Congratulations to all members, especially the outgoing leader Rtn Dr Niaz A Rahman for leading the club in such an excellent manner. My best wishes to Rtn Barrister Shafayet Ullah, President 2020-21 and his board.

ROTARY CLUB OF DHAKA (1937-2020) A Testament of Rotary’s ‘’Service Above Self’ ‘ Background History – Rotary International In 1905 Chicago, the city of the big shoulders, was already an industrial giant and growing. Its people were a perfect example of American melting pot arriving from all corners of the world bringing skill and professional ideas; designing and building the world’s first metal frame skyscraper while its factories, steel mills and businesses of every description shipped their products around the globe. Against this bustling backdrop in 1905, Chicago and Paul Haris had an idea that businesses and professional people could join together in fellowship and service to the community Paul Percival Haris, an attorney and three of his business acquaintances’ – Gustavus Lohre, Silvester Schiele and Hiram Shorey gathered at Loehre’s office at Room 711 of the Unity Building downtown Chicago on February 23, 1905. This was the first Rotary Club meeting. They called this Club Rotary after practice of rotating meeting practices.. Within five years clubs had formed across the United States from San Francisco to New York. In August 1910, the Rotarians held the first Convention in Chicago. The 16 clubs that existed at that time united to form the National Association of Rotary Clubs. In August, 1912 the name changed to International Association of Rotary Clubs with the addition of Clubs outside the United States, namely Rotary Club of- Winnipeg (Canada) in April 1912 and Rotary Club of London (England) in August 1912. RC London, the 50th Cub was the first Rotary Club outside North America. The name Rotary International was adopted in 1922. By 1925, Rotary had grown to over 2000 clubs with an estimated 108,000 members on six continents. Today, Rotary International has over 35,000 Clubs and 1.2 million members worldwide with world headquarters located at Evanston, Illinois, United States. Founding of Rotary Club of Dhaka Dhaka in the 1930s was a burgeoning city of 120,000 people mostly living in and around the present ‘old town’ along the Buriganga river. A major city in the East Bengal under the British Raj, Dhaka was growing in importance due to rapid socio-economic and political changes. The economy was based on trading mostly jute, cotton, tea and spices based on riverine communication. The gentry comprised of officers of the Raj, educationists, professionals, businessmen and aristocrats who mixed well socially that offered an ideal home for a Rotary Club in this part the country under the British rule. Against this background, a group of 17 people met at a meeting held in the Imperial Bank of India Building opposite Victoria Park (now Bahadur Shah Park) on December 22, 1937 and founded the Rotary Club of Dhaka, the first Club in the then East Bengal (and now Bangladesh). The day is observed the Founding Day of the Club. The meeting was chaired by H R Wilkinson, the Charter President of the Club. The meeting came about by the efforts of Sir Frederick James, the charter President of Rotary Club of Calcutta, who was later made the Honorary General Commissioner of Rotary International and Herbert Bryant, was the Secretary of the Middle Asia office set up in 1930, to organise Rotary Clubs in East-Asia covering India, Burma, Ceylon, Afghanistan and the South East Asia. In the early days Herbert Bryant organised the clubs and Sir Frederick James granted the charter. In their effort to introduce Rotary ideals, Sir James and Herbert Bryant visited Dhaka in the late 1930s and discussed with H R Wilkinson, S J E Virgo, Ramesh Chandra Majumder and Altaf Hossain to organise the first Rotary Club in Dhaka, in the East Bengal under the British Raj, now Bangladesh. The Club was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Calcutta, the first Rotary Club in mainland Asia and founded on 29 September 1919. The Club was chartered on 26 February 1938 with 17 members, admitting the Club as the 16114th member of Rotary International under Rotary District 89 with Phiroze Sethi as the District Governor. H W Bryant was the District Governor’s Special Representatives. The day is observed as the charter day. The Charter was presented by B M Das of Rotary Club of Calcutta on 22 March 1938.

Early membership of the Club & Honorary Member A K Fazlul Huq: The success of Rotary Clubs depends on the membership and their involvement with the Club activities. The Club was fortunate to have senior and serious membership in the early organisational stage. The initial leadership came from the senior academicians of Dhaka University, like Professors R C Majumder, Mahmud Hasan, the 3rd and 5th Vice Chancellors respectively and the first (and the longest serving) registrar Khan Bahadur Naziruddin Ahmed. With them joined the members of the administration and businesses, including Dr Jogesh Chandra Ghosh, founder of the Sadhana Aushodahlya. Most significantly Hon. Abul Kasem Fazlul Huq, the first Chief Minister of Bengal (1939-45) was the Honorary Member of the Club and honoured not only the Rotary Club of Dhaka but the Rotary International along with three other Rotarians – Kumararajah Sir Muthiya Chettiyar (RC Madras), Hon. Khan Bahadur Major Sirder Sir Sikander Hayat Khan (Past President, RC Lahore) and Khan Bahadur Sir Muhammad Usman (RC Madras) were included in the high powered 22 member of National Defense Council for India under the British. Hon. A K Fazlul, later popularly known as ‘Sher-e-Bangla’ (the Tiger of Bengal) supported the Club in numerous service projects in early days. The Club from the inception has been involved in planning and executing hundreds of projects and programs in the service to society, which has been the hallmark of all Club activities, changing the life of hundreds and thousands of people in the community

It was the first service project of the Club. Relief Distribution during Bengal Famine: The Club organised free distribution centres for food and fuel during the infamous Bengal famine in 1943-44. The Club also fed 10,000 people a day. It was the worst disaster in Bengal, India, killing hundreds and thousands of people, mostly poor peasants. The famine was caused allegedly by the diversion of large quantities of food grains from the famine affected areas to the British war efforts during the World War II. The program was organised jointly with the Bengal government under the leadership of our Club member J. N. Dey, the District Judge. The program was acclaimed by the officials and community members.

Stormy Weather â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Partition of the South Asia (1947): The Club had a ride through the stormy weather when it suffered serious setback with the partition of SouthAsia in August, 1947 resulting in the formation of independent India and Pakistan. The membership of the Club came down to 7 (seven) from over 50 members in 1946-47.

Storm Clears: Following the setback in 1947, the Club, with 7 members, took effective measures to increase the membership, inducting new members.

Relief and Rehabilitation Programs Since 1951, the Club has been undertaking extensive relief and rehabilitation works and disaster management activity almost every year, during floods, cyclones, famine and other natural disasters which are common to Bangladesh. Such activities include distribution of food, medicine, fresh drinking water including providing agricultural inputs and re-building of homes and schools. Through 1976-78 hundreds of families were rehabilitated under World Community Service (WCS) programme providing vegetable packets, seedlings and other relief materials, especially in Urirchar area affected by Tornado.

The total loss was estimated at USD 490 million (1970-71). The Club embarked on a major relief and rehabilitation programme following the cyclone. The Club organised an unique seminar on 20 December 1970, with the Government and NGOs including donor agencies and also impressed on the Rotary International (RI) which triggered an international response from Rotary Clubs abroad and various world bodies that helped to launch the project ‘Home for the Homeless’ under the World Community Service (WCS) programme of RI. The Club rehabilitated large number of homeless people of Char Fassion and Manpura in Bhola area affected by the Great Bhola Cyclone of 1970. The Club re-built homes and schools, provided cattle heads and fishing nets. The programme was executed with the financial assistance from the Rotary and Rotaract Clubs of Australia which continued for sometimes. The Club’s response in the cyclone affected areas was a major test of its commitment to ‘service above self’ ideals of Rotary. A Rotary Relief Committee was formed with PDG A Rahim Khan as President, DG Abdul Huq as Vice President and Iftekharul Alam as the Secretary. Other members of the Committee include Dr Innas Ali, the Club President, Mustafa Zaman Abbasi, the Club Secretary, M M Rahman, Dr A M M Khan, Habibullah Khan, Sanaullah Sheikh and others.

Charter member Dr Jogesh Chandra Ghosh, founder of Sadhana Aushadhalaya, was killed in his office on 04 April 1971 by the Pak Army. PDG A Rahim Khan was hit by bullets fired at his car in Mohammadpur area on December 17, 1971, a day after the surrender of Pakistan Army. His car was later found abandoned near the Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation bus depot in Mohammadpur but his body was never found – a sad moment for RC Dhaka.

The Club undertook numerous socio-economic projects and programs for improving literacy, education, healthcare and family planning, sanitation, safe drinking water and self reliance, with the maximum participation of the village people supported by the local government officials. A depilated katcha (temporary) shed was converted into a primary school by renovation and re-building works.

After the school hours, regular training classes were held for village women in nutrition, healthcare, childcare, sanitation, handicraft, sericulture, spinning and weaving, etc. The training programs were run by locally available trained instructors, mostly from among the village women. A Medical centre and Family Planning Clinic was established in a three-room semi-permanent structure built on a piece of land donated by a local villager. Vocational training on fish farming, sericulture and poultry farming was given to the villagers for job creation.

Some of the projects including the Primary School is now run by the government. The project was recognised with ‘Significant Achievement Award’by the Rotary International in 1977-78 Walkathon Programme: Rotary Club of Dhaka initiated the ‘Walkathon’ program to raise fund for combating the menace of Cancer; the killer of the humankind. In 1977, during the tenure of Club President Roushanally Hirjee, the Club in one of its weekly meeting discussed in developing a project for combating cancer. The Club thought of establishing a Cancer Centre and felt that it will require substantial funds to materialise the project. During the discussion PDG Iftekharul Alam and L A Cheyne narrated their experiences from a visit to Sri Lanka where they participated in a fund raising ‘Walkathon’ event. The Club accepted their idea and decided to organise a ‘Walkathon’ program and entrusted PDG Iftekharul Alam for organising the first (1978-79) ‘Walkathon’ program. The second (1979-80) and the third (1982-83) program was organised by G Giebel. Vice President Mr Justice Abdus Sattar inaugurated the first ‘Walkathon’ program held on February 05, 1978, which was participated by a large number of dignitaries, celebrities and Rotarians.

Why am I a Rotarian? FEBRUARY 2, 2015 Very simply put, Rotarians develop friendships as an opportunity for service to our local and global communities. Here’s some more reasons why we’re Rotarians. Friendship In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It’s one of two reasons why Rotary was started in 1905 Business Development The second original reason for Rotary’s beginning is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others. Personal Growth & Development Membership in Rotary continues one’s growth and education in human relations and personal development. Leadership Development Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education. Leadership: Learning how to motivate, influence, and lead leaders. Citizenship In The Community Membership in Rotary makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary club consists of the most active citizens of any community. Continuing Education Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep one informed about what is going on in the community, nation and world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers and a variety of timely topics. Fun Rotary is fun, lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The club pro-jects are fun. Social activities are fun. The service is fun. Public Speaker Skills Many individuals who joined Rotary were afraid to speak in public. Rotary develops confidence and skills in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills. Citizenship In The World Every Rotarian wears a pin that says “Rotary International.” There are few places on the globe that do not have a Rotary Club. Every Rotarian is welcome – and encouraged – to attend any of the 33,000 clubs in over 200 nations and geographical regions. This means instant friends in both one’s own community and in the world community. Assistance When Travelling Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian in need of a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice etc., while traveling has found assistance through Rota

Club of Dhaka Assistance When Travelling Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian in need of a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice etc., while traveling has found assistance through Rota Entertainment Every Rotary club and district has parties and activities that provide diversion in one’s business life. Rotary holds conferences, conventions, assemblies and institutes that provide entertainment in addition to Rotary information education and service. Development of Social Skills Every week and at various events and functions, Rotary develops one’s personality, social skills, and people skills. Rotary is for people who like people. Family Programs Rotary provides one of the world’s largest youth exchange programs; high school and college clubs for future Rotarians; opportunities for spouse involvement; and a host of activities designed to help family members in growth and the development of family values. Vocational Skills Every Rotarian is expected to take part in the growth and development of his or her own profession or vocation; to serve on committees and to teach youth about one’s job or vocation. Rotary helps to make one a better doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc. The Development of Ethics Rotarians practice a 4-way Test that governs one’s ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships. Cultural Awareness Around the world, practically every religion, country culture, race, creed, political persuasion, language, colour and ethnic identity is found in Rotary. It is a cross section of the world’s most prominent citizens from every background. Rotarians become aware of their culture and learn to love and work with people everywhere. They become better citizens of their countries in the process. Prestige Rotary members are prominent people: leaders of business, the professions, art, government, sports, military, religion and all disciplines. Rotary is the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world. Its ranks include executives, managers and professional – people who make decisions and influence policy. Nice People Rotarians above all are nice people – the nicest people on the face of the earth. They are important people who follow the policy of” it is nice to be important but it’s important to be nice.” The Absence Of An “Official Creed” Rotary has no secret handshake, no secret policy, no official creed, no secret meetings or rituals. Its an open society of men and women who simply believe in helping others. The Opportunity to Serve Rotary is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its products is service. Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: the chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one’s own life. It is richly rewarding. SOURCE: ROTARY.ORG

RI PRESIDENTS ON COVID 19

14 March 2020 Dear Fellow Rotarian, The COVID-19 coronavirus is affecting every aspect of our lives in real time, and this puts Rotarians in an unfamiliar place. As People of Action, we are most comfortable when we are fully engaged in the world – moving freely, meeting openly, and offering helping hands. These are very difficult times for people who, like us, are at our best when we are learning, growing, and serving -- together. We are also leaders in our communities, and these times call for leadership. In many ways, this also is our time. We have proven abilities to reach out and collaborate to offer immediate help to people in need at a rapid pace. These are precisely the skills needed all over the world today. The global effort against COVID-19 depends on actions taken in every country. Rotary has the unique ability to help improve those efforts in every community and every country. Using all the technology we have at our disposal, we as Rotarians can continue to reach out and collaborate on big projects with Rotary clubs, Rotaractors, and Interactors. There are a number of examples where Rotary clubs are helping health authorities communicate best practices or provide needed equipment or support that have been shared with our leaders around the world. As Rotary’s president and president-elect, we have been thinking of these issues very seriously in regard to upcoming Rotary events. As you may be aware, we have made the difficult decision to cancel two Rotary Presidential Conferences honoring our relationship with the United Nations- one in Paris, another in Rome. In the near term, we recommend that Rotary districts and clubs cancel or postpone meetings or events following the advice of national and local health officials. We know that clubs and districts are seizing the opportunity to become leaders in their communities and are making better use of technology in this time of need. For example, a Rotary e-club in Italy held a live online session about COVID-19 awareness, a Taiwan club worked with companies and a pharmacy association to donate 1,600 bottles of hand sanitizer to the city of Ji-Long, and Rotary clubs in Sri Lanka helped upgrade software and hardware for the health promotion bureau to assist its social messaging. We cannot know quite yet what path this virus will take. We know we can play a role to help “flatten the curve,” reducing the number of cases in the short term to allow our health systems to address this issue. If the collective global effort helps bring the situation under control, then we hope to re-embrace our core values at the 2020 Rotary Convention in Honolulu. Our time together will have greater meaning and purpose than ever. Please know that we are taking a close, continuing look at our plans for the convention in June to make sure all attendees’ safety will be protected. We are following the lead of the world’s most trusted sources, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for their guidance. We want you to be able to make decisions about what is best for you and your families in terms of attending this year’s event.

157

Club of Dhaka In the meantime, this is an opportunity for us to demonstrate that Rotary Connects the World in innovative ways. We should be closely following the advice of the WHO and local health authorities. Again, this includes canceling Rotary club events and meetings in the short term to reduce unnecessary interactions that could cause infections. We can put a greater emphasis on the work we do in our communities by helping our less fortunate neighbors cope with the effects of isolation and fear, or by supporting our health authorities to address this situation. We are dealing with this situation in real time. Please visit the rotary.org COVID-19 response page for ongoing updates. This is an unprecedented challenge for nearly all of us. But it is also an opportunity for Rotarians to find new, meaningful ways to lead individuals and communities to connect and do good in the world. We have never been prouder to be part of an organization that does so much to protect and strengthen our communities, at home and across the globe. Kindest regards, Mark Daniel Maloney 2019-20 President, Rotary International

Holger Knaack 2020-21 President, Rotary International
