Our Club handed over 10 dental chairs to Dr. H.S. Judge Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital of Panjab University, Sector 25 Chandigarh, on 2nd October.
The Club had initiated this project in 2005 with the support of Rtn. Dr. H.S. Coonar of Rotary Club of Mill Hill, UK. Our Club raised the resources along with Rotary District 3080, which were supplemented by Rotary Club of Mill Hill,UK and Rotary District 1130 (UK), and matched by the Rotary Foundation that totalled US$22,000. This enabled the club to purchase dental chairs and instal the same in the Institute.
The dental clinic where these chairs have been installed in the Institute was formally inaugurated by Mr Pawan Kumar Bansal, Member of Indian Parliament, and Union Minister of State for Finance. Also present on the occasion were Prof. R.C. Sobti, Vice Chancellor of Panjab University, Dr. Krishan Gauba, Director Principal of the Institute, Past Rotary International President R.K. Saboo, senior RI Officers and members of the Club.
Our special thanks to Rtn. Dr. H.S. Coonar, and other Rotarians of Mill Hill and District 1130 for their support.

Blood Donation
Our Club has a track record of promoting voluntary blood donation for over a five decades in the city and had been in the forefront to show the way for other states in the country. Not only that, the club has set up a Rs.4 crore state-of-the-art blood resource centre in Sector 37, which is today catering to a large number of hospitals, nursing homes and individuals who require blood in emergency.
Thanks to our Rotarians especially PP Man Mohan Singh, who had been a regular organiser of blood donation camps for the past several years, late PP Janak Grover who had been a regular blood donor, Secy A.P. Singh Dhiman who is a die-hard 'Red' campaigner, Rtn. Surinder Kaur, who besides being the administrator of the centre has been responsible for converting this project into a profit centre through her financial acumen, and not to forget the contribution of Rtn. Rajendra K. Saboo and Usha Saboo, who have been the pillar of strength for this movement in the city.
We salute them on the occasion of the blood donation day, and do hope, that they would continue to support the cause with greater vigour and vitality.
