Prosthetics and Orthotics Centre in Ankleshwar: Sunil Nadkarni


Ankleshwar, Bharuch district, Gujarat: Sunil Nadkarni, the new President of the Ankleshwar Rotary Club, announced the establishment of a Prosthetics and Orthotics Centre in partnership with the Udaipur-based Narayan Seva Sansthan in Ankleshwar to meet the region's emerging needs over time.


Restore mobility, dignity: He made these remarks after taking over as the Ankleshwar Rotary Club President on Sunday. 2026-27 also marks the golden jubilee year of the Ankleshwar Rotary Club. Sunil Nadkarni opined that commencing the long-awaited Prosthetics and Orthotics Centre will pave the way to restore mobility, dignity, and hope to many deserving lives. This feat will also lead to the establishment of a permanent legacy to commemorate the golden jubilee year in a befitting manner.


Miyawaki Forest cover: Sunil Nadkarni also disclosed another ambitious project of developing the Miyawaki forest region in the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation area of Ankleshwar. The credit for evolving the concept of Miyawaki forest goes to Dr Akira Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist. Miyawaki forest is an afforestation technique involving the plantation of native tree species densely together, say three to five saplings per square meter in enriched soil. It is said that such a pattern of growing trees creates competition and thereby forces the trees to grow up to 10 times faster than in the usual conventional plantation methods.


Building Healthier Communities: Sunil Nadkarni also divulged his roadmap for building healthier communities with impactful healthcare initiatives, blood donation, disease prevention, maternal and child health programmes. 


Empowering Education and Youth: He also emphasised the significance of empowering education and youth by strengthening literacy, teacher development and leadership opportunities for young people through Rotary, Rotaract and Interact.


Enhancing Rotary's Public Image: Sunil Nadkarni also listed out his priority of showcasing the service activities with pride, transparency and professionalism, inspiring more people to join the mission and thereby enhancing Rotary's public image.


Building a partnership with industry: Last but not least, Sunil Nadkarni was also categorical in building a partnership with industry, CSR organisations, government agencies, and NGOs to multiply the Rotary impact and ensure sustainable service.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Dharwad's Arya Durga, Rukmini and Saraswati...: From Nothing to Crores and Crores...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life. He began working at a ration shop while he was only eight years of age and continued working until he became 15 years old. Mahalakshmi Hotel boomerangs: Then Gajanan Vitthal Shetti came to Hubballi to do business. He came with his father, Vitth...
