Rotarian S.B. ANAND
The Grand Old
“The discipline that my father
observes where his health is
concerned is admirable. His
morning walk at Kamala Nehru
Park and light vegetarian meals
during the day is the secret to his
fitness, which he practises even
now! He is also a great fan of
cricket and watched Test matches
at the Brabourne Stadium.
“However, his main admirable
traits are contentment,
punctuality, honesty, dedication
and integrity. These are the
precious gifts that I have received
from him and I am proud to be
Satya Bhushan Anand's daughter.”

Kamla Mehta School for the Blind
A Visit to
President R.P. Anand, Rtn G.G. Kapadia, Rtn Ashwin
Shah, Rtn Anil Ambo and Rtn Naren Mohatta visited the
Kamla Mehta Dadar School for the Blind (KMDSB) on
17th February, 2016.
Suparna Ajgaonkar, the school’s Director, received the Rotary
delegation in her office. After exchanging pleasantries, the
delegation was informed about the current activities at the
school and the budgetary expectations.
Following a tete-a-tete over tea and biscuits, Rtn Anand
handed over a cheque of `50,000 as a donation from the
Rotary Club of Bombay Mid-Town (RCBMT) to the school,
which was gratefully received. Rtn Anand stated that
RCBMT shall continue to support the school.
Ajgaonkar showed the delegation albums of the previous
visits by members of the Rotary Club. This brought back
memories of RCBMT's continuous support to the school
over several decades. She led the entourage to inspect
the various sections and activities of the school, including
computer training, the science laboratory, the Braille class,
the library, the hobby centre, the music and dance venue and
the gymnasium.
At the end of the tour, the delegation was served snacks
prepared by the visually challenged students.
KMDSB imparts academic education from pre-school to
college, and has hostel facilities for visually challenged
girls hailing from various socio-economic backgrounds
without any consideration of caste, creed or religion.
