Friends,
Its time to start preparing for Daughters’ Day over the
week-end of July 4.
We have a message from Bengaluru that the City chapter is
celebrating the day with an event at NMKRV College’s Saraswathi Hall.
Mumbai plans to do it along with Lioness Club of Navi
Mumbai. They are talking to some schools for felicitating meritorious and needy
girl students.
Am sure other chapters will also quickly plan.
Apart from meetings and speeches, we can look at
constructing toilet blocks for girls in particular in schools run on low
budgets.
It’s an open secret that the school dropout rate among girl
students from poor families is very high as they face toilet and privacy problems
after the age of 11 years.
We can also look at tapping developers like Shobha and
Prestige. In fact, let us plan to raise funds for such CSR from those whom we
award.
It may not be a bad idea at all to ask all award winners
to donate Rs 1,000 each (at least) for our CSR fund – of course without
connecting the award with the donation. Still better, we can prompt couple of
award winners to announce their contributions which will inspire others.
I request all PRCI office bearers and members to come out
with thoughts on this important issue.
Jayaram breaks the good news that PRCI-I is all set to be
launched on December 04, 2015 at Dubai. He will lead a 20-member delegation
from India. The core committee to look after PRCI-I is now busy chalking out a
programme, topic for discussion etc.,
On other activities, BARC in Mumbai has asked us to work
on a Media Seminar on Nuclear Waste. BARC seems to have developed some new
ways. We are awaiting details. WE shall inform all of you once we get the
details. Let us then plan media seminars in Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and
Kochi – and of course all other centres. The scientists will make their own
travel and other arrangements. PRCI will have to just provide logistics. We can
tie-up with Press Clubs for this.
I am happy to inform you that PRapport readership is shooting
up by the day! Mr Narendra’s column is extremely popular. Just type Narendra
Prapport on Google search and you will not believe your own eyes!
The latest analysis shows PRapport has crossed the magic figures
of 2,500 in India and 1,200 in the US. Germany is racing towards 200, while UK
notched a half century.
Here is the data as on today at 11.20 AM
Thank you and Keep reading PRapport and spread the good word
