Debate competition feedbacks
“It was a truly memorable experience, one that I
will never forget and will always cherish. The event
was very well organised and we were taken care of
right from when we checked in to campus the
evening prior to the event”
-Aliasgar Saeed, Welingkar College
“The event organised by the Rotary club in
association with SDMIMD and the Bhagwan family
was really educative and constructive not only from
a student point of view but even as a spectator. It
gave us an opportunity to learn and put forward our
opinions about politics and the society as a whole”
-Bhagyashree Bhandary, St.Joseph's College of
Business Administration
“After this event, I feel more confident, inspired
and motivated. The different views struck a chord
with the purpose that was mysteriously assigned- To
bring out the shapers of future India.
With motivation from a Bhagwan family
member who kept his hand on my head and said –
'You are good, that is the sole reason why you are
here', I know that all it takes to be successful is a
positive mindset. Being recognized as the Best Lady
Speaker was the cherry on the cake. Indeed, this day
has been etched in memories for ever.”

3. Best Industrialist Award
The distinguished speaker of the day was
Mr.D.K.Venugopalan who was awarded with the
prestigious “Best Industrialist “of Mysore city. Rtn. Dr.
M.N Bheemesh , Assistant Governor presented the
award on behalf of Rotary Midtown. He introduced
Mr.D.K Venugopalan as a man who has achieved
success with integrity and said that age is no bar for
tasting success and gave the examples of Mr.Jamsedji
Tata who built the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel at Mumbai
after being denied entry to a “Whites only” Hotel.
Another example was Nirma soaps whose owner
started off as a salesperson. He opined “Success is when signature becomes autograph”. Vocational
Service Director Rtn.N. Narendra brought to our notice that Bosch has acknowledged the excellent
performance of Shashwati Plastics and the client list included major auto players in the country. A
relative of Mr.Venugopalan took the stage and said that he had strived very hard to contribute to
the community and went about his job with “Shradda” and “Manaviyate”. He not only practiced
Ayurveda but also Reiki and has been able to successfully de-addict many workers with alcohol
addiction through his counselling. Mr.D.K.Venugopalan was modest about his achievements and
added that he enjoyed the 15 year association with his partner Mr Keshav at Shashwati Plastics. He
said “Only Humans do business but better humans can do better business”. Compassion at work
and keeping things simple played a major role in the success of Shashwati plastics adding that there
was no form of policing of the workforce. He thanked his family and friends in general, his wife in
particular for their contribution. He also acknowledged an invisible force helping him in his
endeavors. He concluded his short and inspiring talk by encouraging everybody to “strive to give
back to the society what we have received form it at least in equal measures if not more”.
Rtn.R.Vishwanath proposed the vote of thanks and was at his humorous best.

4. Practical Innovation
Rotary Information
The FiLIP smartwatch is a combination childlocator and limited communication device,
designed to help parents and children stay in touch.
Created as part of an agreement between Filip
technologies and AT&T, the watch's features include
location detection, voice calling and direct
messaging from the parent to the child. An app on
the parent's smartphone controls the FiLIP, which
can be preset with five trusted contact numbers.
The watch can also be programmed with Safe Zones,
triggering an alert if the child leaves a designated
area, and includes an Intelligent Emergency
procedure that the child can activate by pressing a
button for three seconds. Once triggered, the
Emergency system will send a text to the parents,
active an automatic location beacon and call each of
the five programmed contacts until someone
answers.

the second time in history, I will again be
joining Rotary members in the Tucson,
Arizona, area on 23 November to raise money
for Rotary's Polio Plus Program by riding 111
miles in El Tour de Tucson.
