Rotary Club of Seven Hills Dharwad is a 15 year old all ladies club in RID 3170. Our club regularly
conducts community service projects in the rural and urban areas. One of our major focus areas
are conducting awareness programs for school children on the topics of Menstrual Hygiene
Management, Disease Prevention, Saving the Environment and many more. We are inclined to
conduct these activities in the local Government schools as they need support to create awareness
among the students. The students in these Government schools usually hail from rural backgrounds
and from lower socioeconomic strata. The awareness programs conducted by our club gives them
a boost to follow and easily implement day to day practices for good health, hygiene and nutrition.
On many such occasions, during our visit to the schools especially in rural areas, we observed that
most schools did not have basic facilities like basic toilet facilities, clean drinking water and the
schools lacked basic library facilities. They also follow the age-old method of blackboard and
chalk for teaching which limits the methods of teaching and conveying newer concepts to students
