"The business of business is business", said Milton Friedman but the corporate world of the 21st Century has come to realize that it cannot alone be the case anymore. Social Responsibility has become an intrinsic part of the corporate activity. Realizing its significance, Jaipur Pink city RoundTable 171 has taken yet another initiative under the Round Table India week to organise blood donation camp on 15th Nov 2008.

When Jaipur The Pink City turned Red....

Jaipur: Terror striked in Jaipur on 13th of May 2008 as 9 serial blasts rocked the pink city leaving over 70 dead and putting unforgettable scars on the people’s memories that were directly affected. The blasts rocked the city in the busiest hour and in the busiest places with killing accuracy. The toll is going on increasing with the last one being 80 killed and 250 injured.

The first blast took place at 7:20pm on Tuesday in the bustling Johari bazaar and within 20 minutes 7 more blasts rocked the city in places like the Hanuman Mandir, Hawa Mahal, Badi chaupad, Tripolia Bazaar and chandpole.

The city was in chaos as people screamed and ran helter skelter , running , jumping over kids and injured. The siren of ambulance was every where in the city instead of the hustling bustling people that are usually the part of the Jaipur streets. The streets which are normally full with natives and tourists alike went deserted.
A bigger attack was averted as the police defused three bombs of same nature....

JPRT 171: By Grace of god we all are safe and well...

Its was a date with tragedy but Jaipur and its people have come together hand in hands to fight it...

Removing all fear and doubts we all reached at the Hospital at 9pm to see how and where we could be of help.....
13 May, the dreadful night after the blast ,1200+ units of blood was needed urgently at the SMS Hospital (where 250+ Injured were admitted) , it was the a night of calling.....
Tarun , Alok, Ashish, Anant, Ritika and I started calling and Smsing to all known ones , in less than 1 hr a large number Jaipur people came forward to donate Blood in middle of the night.
By mid night the staff at SMS asked us to arrange the blood of Only of under 40 age group so they are able get potent and usable blood.
Next Morning we organized a Blood Donation Camp only for O-ve and B-ve Bood group at Monelak Hospital, and we were on alert if any other hospital needed blood. By late afternoon we were able to collect 300+ extra units of blood from our friends and family....plus had 4000+ people listed, Ready in line to donate if required....

We visited the SMS hospital later in the day, Even in this mayhem the Patient & attendants were calm and helpful. A lot of volunteer's donated fruits , eatables, clothes and if necessary arranging and few even sponsoring operation cost if necessary .....

Another Organisation JPRT works with is AKSHEY-PATRA, a lot of our member do volunteer work aswell as donate funds to this noble organisation. More than 1800 children of Various Jaipur Roundtable schools are provided Daily MID-Day meals at school by this them.

Starting from 13th night,They were quick to set up 2 emergency Canteen at the hospital, they open at 6am and operate till 11pm. 8000-10000 FREE Meals per day are being offered to Patients/ Attendants/ Volunteers and even general public.

Terror can hurt us but can never scare us or bend us.....We will survive and go on....

We salute the spirit of Jaipur and its citizens

We were all overwhelmed by the numerous phone calls , email's we all have received from well wishers , friends, family and the Table fraternity,

We Thank you once again for the concern,

Yit,

Manish R Kasliwal

RTI Week Activities

12th Nov.: Quiz Competition

On 12th November 2007 a Quiz Competition was organized at the Government Upper Primary School, Siwar, which is also the first school aided by JPRT. The quiz competition was held for Classes 5th, 6th, 7th and . The results of the competition are indeed very encouraging - quite a few students scored hundred percent in it!! Chairman Tr. Tarun Bansal was present for organising the activities. A set of books was given as awards to the children who got the highest marks in the competition.

14th: Dental & Eye Camp

A Dental & Eye Camp was organized at the Government Upper Primary School, Siwar, which is also the first school aided by JPRT; during the RTI Week on the 15th of November. Tr. Saurabh Jhunjhunwala was the key man in organising this camp for the children. 135 students were examined by a team of doctors during the camp. 7 students were diagnosed with minor eye problems and the necessary medicines were given to them. Tr. Saurabh Jhunjhunwala also distributed a combo pack of toothpaste and toothbrush to all the students. Four women from village also came and requested to have their eyes checked. On examining their eyes, 2 of them were diagnosed with Cataract and since they needed immediate operation, Tr. Saurabh immediately organized for their operations at the clinic and generously sponsored the operations from his side. Tr. Shishir and Tr. Ravi were also present at the camp. The response from the school authorities was very enthusiatic and they reattriated their support for any work thet JPRT wanted to do in the school.

Naye UMANG Hai...

Yet another achievement but this time time of a totally different level.

This was our first experience with children with special abilities at UMANG - an initiative towards the rehabilitation of children with disability.

The WCE team of 16/17 students from Charleston, Scotland, Tr. Pushpendra, Tr. Tarun and myself visited the school premises on the 9th of July '07. What touched us was the purity of heart and the innocence of these children.

The Boys of the WCE team had brought their National Football Uniform, which they gifted to the students at UMANG, who quickly changed in the gear for some action!

A LAGAAN-estyle Football Match - The 2 teams of UK students and Umang Boys, kicked into action for the duel. Irrespective of their handicaps, the fireblaze kicks from the Umang boys sure made the Angreez boys rethink their strategy. After 45 mins of action from both sides, the match came to a happy ending with the Angreez side willingly losing 11-3 to Umang boys. I think the joy of losing this match was far bigger and overwhelming than any joy of winning.

The WCE team girls on other side, alongwith Tr. Tarun and Tr. Pushpendra, played interactive games with the students and also learned the special qualities of painting that some of the students had.

We all returned with wonderful memories and with a promise to fullfill atleast one wish from wishlist given to us there, donating a PA System required there. Tr. Peeyush Sharma has donated 6 ceiling fans for the New building of the UMANG school on 19 July.

The WCE Team 4 is working at the Parsuramdwara school from 26th July.
