ctober being Vocational
Omonth in the Rotary
calendar –activities in
Rotary generally includes a vocational
v i s i t a n d v o c a t i o n a l a w a r d s
presentation. Vocational visit this year
was to DMS technologies, Belawadi
industrial area, – vocational place of our
Rotarian Arun Shenoy. Arun himself
being a rare bird in Midtown in recent
years, some of the new comers in
midtown were seeing Arun for the first
time ! After light refreshments, meeting
began with formalities. Arun
briefly explained the history of
the factory and revealed that
Mr. H.R. Nagendra Rao,
Managing Director of DMS was
b e i n g h o n o r e d b y P M
Narendra Modi on Oct 16th as a
Brand Ambassador for Vocational training and so he
was not available in the meeting that day. We wished
we could honor him as well for his excellent
achievement. Then Arun and his factory supervisor
took all of us through a factory tour and briefly
explained the process of manufacturing PCBs. The
attendance which was about 50% for the
refreshments dwindled to about 30% for the Dinner
and itincluded 2 families - sameoldstory!
Briefly about DMS: DMS Technologies Private

manufacturing. They undertake from prototype
orders to bulk-orders, so that one can test samples

ray of hope for HIV / AIDS patients. A 10 minutes video was
played about the institution. An induction stove and vessels
were given to a needy staff of Ashakirana. From there, we
headed towards our Rotary Midtown Academy where we
were welcomed by mesmerising dance performed by young
kids of RMA. Later we witnessed the showcase of talents by
the children of RMA in the form of Yoga, a skit and various
models of science and beautiful art and craft works .An
amount was given to the Rangayana artiste for the training
she is imparting on the RMA students . From there, we
processed towards RCL where baby samosas and pudina juice
was waiting for us as the refreshment. Our club Assembly

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
POLIO BECOMES 'PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY' IN PAKISTAN AS
NUMBER OF CASES SOARSA s w o r l d h e a l t h
officials struggle to
respond to the Ebola
epidemic, Pakistan has
passed a grim milestone in
its efforts to combat
another major global
health crisis: the fight
againstpolio.
Over the weekend,
Pakistan logged its 200th
newpoliocaseof2014,thenation'shighesttransmissionrate
in more than a dozen years. The spread has alarmed Pakistani
and international health experts and is prompting fresh
doubt about the country's ability to combat this or future
diseaseoutbreaks.
By Tuesday, the number of new polio cases in Pakistan
stood at 202, and officials are bracing for potentially dozens
of other cases by year's end. Pakistan now accounts for 80
percent of global cases and is one of only three countries at
risk of exporting the disease outside its borders, according to
theWorldHealthOrganization.
“It's an emergency, a public health emergency,” said
Ayesha Raza Farooq, the polio eradication coordinator for
Pakistan's government. “We want to limit the virus outside of
our boundaries and want to work to control it in our
boundaries, but it's certainly a very challenging situation
ahead.”
Pakistan has struggled for years to shed its title as one of
the last remaining countries with an active polio virus, mostly
because of troubles it faces in vaccinating children. In far-
flungareasofthecountry,someparentsandreligiousleaders
are skeptical of the vaccine, requiring considerable face-to-
faceoutreachbyvaccinationteams.
But the Pakistani Taliban and other Islamist militants
have waged a brutal campaign against those teams, killing
morethan50healthworkersandsecurityofficialssince2012.
The attacks began after it was discovered that the CIA had
used a vaccination campaign to gain information about
OsamabinLaden'swhereabouts.
