CSSA District Governor RID 3142 (RY 2025-26)

Dear Rotarians of Rotary Club of Dombivli East

by the powerful call of our Rotary International President: “Unite for Good.” Together, let us raise the bar

and create a legacy of service and leadership.

This Rotary year, | urge each club to focus on these vital goals:

«Membership Growth: Invite your friends, family, and professional circles to be part of Rotary. More hands, more hearts, more help.

members, and invite the world to witness what Rotary truly stands for. You are the leaders of this historic

TITEN vision with RCDE Legacy

It will be a great privilege and Honor to lead our prestigious club in the TITEN Rotary year, which incidentally is my 25" year in our club. TITEN is acronym for Transparency, Inclusivity, Teamwork, Empowering and Networking. The five values which we wish to follow and integrate in our working style.

My BOD and | are committed to carry forward the vibrant legacy of our club by implementing impactful community projects across all avenues of service. | will encourage my team to infuse fresh ideas and innovative thinking into every initiative we undertake during the year. For me, the true measure of success for any project lies in the content, reach and final impact than anything else. Ourimportant flagship projects like Rotary Garden, Rotary Vishwanath Memorial trust, CSR based medical and school projects etc. will continue with new additions.

We aim to enhance member involvement and participation—not just in community service projects, but also in our regular weekly meetings. The help of our Past Presidents' group, DISHA, and our club trainer will be actively sought, in ensuring our club functions with greater discipline and efficiency. Strengthening membership and thoughtful retention strategies will also be a key focus, drawing from the valuable experiences of the past.

We will implement the sustainability and Environment thoughts in our day-to-day functioning, besides the focused projects in this area. Involving “Partners in Service” in this work is one part of this awareness. We will try to reduce the use of plastics and non-degradable material to the least in our campus, Garden mapping and QR coding of the plants, Butterfly Garden in schools could be some of the initiatives under this.

We wish to try for min 2 Global grant projects and 2 major CSR projects, an industrial Expo, some mega educational projects including a science exhibition. We have set the TRF and membership targets as defined in our club strategy and given by district. The projects defined by District thrust area are also being planned. | will need your hands and dedication in doing these. Your support in achieving all the target is of immense importance and value. | expect to reach out to you from time to time as needed.

| will assure on behalf of my BOD and myself, that we will put all the necessary efforts to maintain the service and innovation reputation of our club in district 3142 and our community. With motivation and support from my TITEN governor Shri Harsh Makol our club will definitely maintain its top position in Dist. 3142. Let us continue to be on the path shown by our visionary leaders, PPs and current President and try to reach newer height.

First Lady Manjiri joins me in wishing all the Rotarians a very active, useful and fruitful Rotary year full of

Welcoming President Dr. Sandeep D. Gharat

—A Mind of Science, A Heart for Service

As we usher in the TiTen year of Rotary Club of Dombivii East, it's my privilege to present the first edition of Vikas Magazine, which will be inaugurated on 2nd July. This edition marks not only the start of a new Rotary year but also the beginning of a vibrant chapter under the thoughtful leadership of our President for RY 2025-26, Dr. Sandeep D. Gharat. With a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the prestigious UDCT (now ICT), mentored by none other than Padma Bhushan Prof. J.B. Joshi, Dr. Gharat's journey spans academic brilliance and industrial innovation. His post-doctoral research in the U.S. and 32+ years in leadership roles—culminating as Vice President & Head of R&D at Godrej Industries—reflect a life built on purpose, precision and quiet impact. Yet beyond the science and industry lies his equally powerful social spirit. Whether as Advisor to Rossari Biotech, examiner for postgraduate students, or former President of Tilaknagar Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, his influence touches both intellect and community. A Rotarian since 2001, he has worn many hats: Director, Editor, Project Chair, MOC—and is now ready to lead us into a year of growth and action.

As editor for a second term, I'm excited to introduce a fresh and engaging Vikas Magazine this year, which is more than aclub newsletter—it's your monthly dose of connection, learning, and celebration.

Here's what you can look forward to:

RCDE Fellowships explained clearly so every member can explore what resonates most with them.

° Astrology & its Applications—an engaging segment to blend tradition and self-awareness.

® Quizzes & Crosswords to sharpen cognitive skills.

Local Historical Stories to revive our pride in Dombivli's roots.

Medical Articles with Case Studies from expert doctors.

Rotary Reflections—real stories from new members.

Business Case Studies inspired by top management thinkers.

Spotlight Column—to celebrate the achievements of our Rotary family members.

Rare Food Recipes, Guest Columns by noted writers, and Personal Growth Articles that you can apply in daily life.

Education System Insights to understand and support reforms.

Upcoming Projects Calendar so you never miss a chance to participate.

Plus, an advertisement space at the bottom of every page for our members to promote their businesses and initiatives.

Let's make this year a symphony of service, knowledge, and joy—just as Dr. Gharat himself embodies.

- Rtn. Anuj Yadav,

Editor, Vikas Magazine

Mission -The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional and community leaders.

The Rotary Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is one of Rotary International's most cherished guiding principles. Created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor and later adopted by Rotary in 1943, it serves as a moral code for personal and professional conduct. Simple yet profound, the test is a cornerstone of Rotary's commitment to integrity, service, and ethical behavior in all aspects of life.

The Four-Way Test Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Isit the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

These four questions offer a timeless framework for making ethical decisions and fostering trust, not justin Rotary, but in all walks of life.

The Object of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: 1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; 2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; 3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; 4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. This four-part object is the philosophical foundation on which Rotary's mission and values are built.

Core Values of Rotary Rotary International is guided by five core values that shape its culture, drive its service, and inspire its members worldwide. These values reflect the spirit of Rotary and serve as the foundation for all its activities: 1. Service 2. Fellowship 3. Diversity 4. Integrity 5. Leadership

Personal Groth

Achieving Personal Growth in the Age of Distractions In an age of constant distractions, fast-paced life, and relentless digital noise, personal growth might seem a luxury seemingly far-fetched, even for the most privileged sections of society. Yet, it is more achievable than ever; if approached with clarity, structure, and intention. Today’s most effective strategies combine classical self- development principles with new behavioral science, especially insights fram books like The Art of Public Speaking and Atomic Habits by James Clear. | gladly base most of the content on the latter, one of my favorites.

Personal growth has primarily been nurtured through traditional institutions: family, schools, religious communities, libraries and mentorship networks. These systems offered structured guidance, moral grounding, and lifelong behavioral models, shaped by discipline, storytelling, conversations, books, and reflection. However, in today’s hyper-digital world, these once- reliable institutions are struggling to stay relevant. Young people increasingly look to influencers, algorithms, or Al-driven content for advice, often replacing human wisdom with curated digital noise. Schools focus more on grades than emotional intelligence; families, exposed to excessive digitization, continually grow fractured, and mentorship becomes informal, inconsistent or transactional. In this age of infinite information but limited attention, these older frameworks are no longer sufficient on their own. To foster personal growth today, we need new hybrid systems that combine timeless human values with digital fluency, actionable tools, and rapid feedback loops.

All systems that speak the language of now. Personal growth begins with self-awareness. We should identify habits, values, and goals; set small, achievable targets; and track daily progress. We should replace distractions with purposeful routines. But the most essential aspect we need to understand is that growth isn’t instant. Consistency, curiosity, and intentional action are the keys to meaningful, lasting transformation. These three continue to be the most formidable currencies of growth.

Habits are the engine of personal growth, but the right environment has been and continues to be the fuel. Most selling points in the world celebrate motivation as the ultimate solution to achieving growth. While motivation fades, a well-designed space makes good habits easier and longer-lasting. Purposeful routines can only thrive in supportive surroundings. To grow consistently, aligning your environment with your goals is essential because strong habits, nurtured by the right setting, alone can lead to lasting transformation, to the extent that it seems like devotion or magic. Some term it to be love.

James Clear’s framework in Atomic Habits breaks down the habit loop into four stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. To build a habit, you can make it obvious by setting up a visual cue. | keep dumbbells near my office desk to remind myself to work out. Make it attractive. Pair it with something you enjoy and it works surprisingly well with your favorite playlist. If you have Himesh Reshammiya in there... well, that’s another habit worth reconsidering. Next, it’s recommended we make it easy by breaking it down. And finally, it’s essential that you make it satisfying. Track and celebrate progress. Reward yourself with your favorite food when you succeed. If you find me at Delizio’s on Saturdays, be assured the content of this article works; for you and me, both.

We naturally gravitate toward the path of least resistance, so it’s important to make good habits easier. There are sO many ways now to automate habits with reminders and apps to make them easier to adapt. Attaching a new

Yn habit to an existing one works wonders. The concept of compound growth applies to habits as well as it does to money. Even a 1% improvement daily compounds into remarkable change over time. Small choices shape big results. What’s immediately rewarded gets repeated. Make your new habits feel good; immediately. It helps make the new habit irresistible. It’s claimed you become like the people you spend time with. Their habits really do rub off. Surround yourself with people who are growing, disciplined, and positive. Join clubs or online groups that match your aspirations and you'll see how things begin to line up, as if the universe is helping you achieve your goals. Most of us are guilty of making New Year’s resolutions around New Year’s Eve and finding out how continuing even till the 2nd day of the year seems extremely difficult. January for health and fitness, February for relationships, and so on. 30 might seem manageable in comparison to 365, right? We are bound to fail in these too. | hope we also can remember to be compassionate with ourselves and treat ourselves as we would our best friends when they aren't able to achieve daily goals. Sustainable growth stems from passion and love. “Success is the product of daily habits. Not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.” - James Clear Growth is not a one-time event. It’s a continuous loop of learning, doing, failing, and improving. It’s built on small, smart choices made consistently. Let’s make this your First Step Today: Choose one idea from this article that you could relate with. Apply it now! Before you move on to the next page or idea. If you were able to do that, let’s celebrate the beginning of a new habit together. Celebrating wins is one habit | have taken up this year. You’d like to help me with that, right? PTT - Rtn.

Sportsmanship in Cricket—A Rotary Reflection

In the world of cricket, sportsmanship is the invisible thread that elevates the game beyond scores and statistics. It is in this spirit that players like Kane Williamson, captain of the New Zealand cricket team, shine not just as athletes, but as role models. Known for his calm demeanour and unwavering fairness, Williamson embodies integrity—a core Rotary value. From congratulating opponents after heartbreaking losses to leading his team with humility, he reminds us that character " matters as much as talent. He is known to apologize to the umpire every time he reviews a decision. What an incredible act of humility and sportsmanship!

Sachin Tendulkar, often nicknamed the “God of Cricket”, offers another shining example. In an era dominated by fierce competition, Tendulkar's decision to walk off the field when given not out—because he knew he was—demonstrated an unflinching commitment to truth and ethics. It's the same moral compass that Rotarians uphold in our professional and personal lives. Adam Gilchrist is yet another such example.

Rotary's values naturally encourage sportsmanship. Rotary's moto “Service above self” teaches us to rise above ego. Integrity fosters fairness. Leadership calls for grace in both victory and defeat. Fellowship nurtures respect. And finally, diversity, equity and inclusion teach us to embrace different playing fields, perspectives, people and opinions with the same spirit.

Through its Youth Service programs, Rotary helps instill the values of fairness, respect, and integrity early in life—nurturing young leaders who embody sportsmanship both on and off the field. The Rotary Club of Dombivli East stands as a shining example, not only honoring the spirit of sportsmanship but actively promoting it through impactful service initiatives. Its flagship event, Dombivli Olympics, exemplifies this commitment, along with other inspiring projects like Run2Care and Balmela. | had the privilege of serving as Director of Youth and NextGen avenues in Rotary Years 2022—23 and 2023-24 respectively—an experience that allowed me to witness and foster the true essence of sportsmanship in action.

Across all sports, from cricket to football to tennis, we celebrate moments when players choose principle over glory. These acts resonate deeply with our mission as Rotarians—to lead with values, build goodwill, and serve with dignity.

Let's carry this spirit into every field we play on—be it in sport, service, or life.

Understanding the Interconnection between Life and Education

The relationship between life and education is deeply interwoven, as education serves

both as a reflection of life and a preparation for it. This concept is eloquently captured

by philosopher John Dewey, who asserted, "Education is not preparation for life;

education is life itself.”

John Dewey emphasized that education should not be viewed merely as a preparation

for future life but as an integral part of life itself. He believed that learning occurs

through experiences and that education should be rooted in real-life situations to be

truly meaningful. This perspective underscores the importance of integrating life

experiences into the educational process to foster holistic development.

To effectively integrate life and education parents can adopt the following six-stage approach:

1. Engage Through Real-Life Observation

*Parents naturally notice their child's interests and day-to-day actions and these become the starting points for guided learning. Dewey saw education as "taking hold of child's activities, giving them direction" rather than imposing content.

For instance, a child's fascination with plants can prompt gardening projects at home, linking biology with caring for living things.

2. Balance Short-Term Skills with Long-Term Aspirations

*At home, parents help frame daily tasks like homework and chores as steps toward future goals such as budgeting and responsibility.

*Teaching that fractions help in cooking or budgeting blends immediate learning with real-world purpose.

3. Link Curriculum to Everyday Tasks

¢School lessons in reading, math, and science are rooted in daily life—students count ingredients in a recipe, measure dimensions while building, and discuss energy transfer during cooking.

*John Dewey emphasized that true learning happens by doing within the context of family or community life, not through passive classroom instruction

4, Create Hands-On, Home-Based Experiential Projects

«Parents can organize cooking sessions, DIY repairs, and small science experiments to transform the home into a real-life learning laboratory rooted in practical activity and inquiry.

«At home, Dewey's model of the “laboratory school” comes to life as children tackle genuine problems and reflect on their experiences, blending theory and practice seamlessly.

5. Foster Social & Reflective Learning

¢Family discussions, collaborative projects, and chores teach communication, teamwork and civic- mindedness is the core values in Dewey's educational philosophy

Veo:

¢Reflection through prompts such as “What did you learn? What surprised you?” helps children internalize lessons and develop critical thinking skills.

6. Incorporate Life Skills into Home “Assessment”

Instead of tests, parents encourage reflective conversation: “How did you solve that challenge?” or “What would you do differently next time?”

*This reinforces Dewey's idea that true education occurs through reflective experience, not rote memorization.

Home-Based Life-Oriented Teaching Plan for Parents

Stage Parental Action Home Example 1. Survey Needs Notice interests, reflectinconversation Askabout favorite activities—art, nature, stories 2. Prioritize Goals Help set near-term (e.g., tidy space) and Use checklists or vision boards long-term {e.g., artist, chef) objectives

3. Connect Relate school subjects to home activities Use geometry when measuring for Curriculum crafting

4. Plan Skill-Building Design weekly hands-on plans Bake, garden, build small models

5. Ensure Field trips, home-based projects Visit a local garden or museum Experiential Learning

6. Embed in Reflect on achievements & setbacks Regular “learning talks” at dinner Assessment time

Why This Approach Works

*Education is Lived: Aligns with Dewey's belief that learning should be embedded in lived experience—homeas the primary classroom «Active Learning: Reinforces that children learn best by doing, experimenting, and problem-solving—not passive reception. *Reflective Practice: Supports growth through reflection—encouraging children to think about their thinking and actions. ¢Parents as Facilitators: Underlines the role of parents as guide, mentor, and co-learner, not authoritarian transmitter. By adopting a Deweyan approach at home, parents become true life-educators—transforming everyday moments into rich learning experiences. Through guidance, activity, reflection, and connection, children not only learn academic skills but also develop into curious, capable, and socially responsible individuals—living the essence of education: life itself. This holistic perspective ensures that education remains relevant, engaging, and transformative, truly embodying the essence of life itself. - Rtn, Joseph Goshi

£ On, Only one name echoes "Indian Space Research

Py Organization".

| remember Akshay Kumar in movie " Mission Mangal"

humorously mentioning the institution as Impossible Space

Research Organization. Impossible is for numerous feats

accomplished by ISRO.

From humble beginning - transporting rockets parts in cycle,

satellite being taken on bullock carts to launching first rocket from

St Mary Magdalene Church, Thumba to Executing projects -

Chandrayaan series, Mangalayaan

There have been a failures in this journey -- from SLV-3 Failure, INSAT-1A, GSAT-6A to

partial failure in chandrayaan 2. But has these failures stopped ISRO ?, no it has not.

It has made them to consolidate their position to keep learning from failures, to excel and come back.

When | took a step back, | realized this is kind of an epic, or a school of thought, which can give us life lessons—

*Be Patient and reap the fruits - from humble start, with country facing food shortages, no resources and capabilities - to building launching capabilities. This teaches us to be patient, work hard, put all efforts and be focused.

*Brave and Bold - The early founders of the Space program dared to dream big in a newly formed nation which was finding it difficult to feed its population. Their vision was to develop and use space technology for national progress, planetary exploration and space research. with unwavering faith in the importance of their dreams. This teaches us to dream big, be courageous and bold in our actions, and have faith towards your goals and country.

¢Blame free culture - | read a old news article - that when SLV 3 failed, it was Dr Dhawan, then head of ISRO accepting the failure in front of press. ( Dr Kalam was Project Director - | was surprised ). This teaches us to be responsible leaders, to accept failures rather than blame others. Be retrospective in action and don't be judgmental.

*Long term vision - their failures are stepping stones to long term success. Their bigger picture is --- progress over decades rather than a singular missions. INSAT-1A failures earlier led to ISRO reliance and success in INSAT-1B and later telecom satellites. Have a vision, work hard and be resilient, don't celebrate early, rather be humble and learn. | would rephrase it as "Learn - Unlearn - Relearn”

¢Indigenous innovation, frugal -ISRO frugal, cost effective method of launching satellites by indigenous technology, simple designs and supply ecosystem. This was demonstrated by Mangalyaan mission - mars orbiter mission (cheaper than Gravity - a Sci-Fi Hollywood movie} -- Be Resource efficient, don't be spendthrift, value money and resources available, be sustainable, respect nature.

and Last "Hope" - In Movie Mission Mangal- at the end, when the scientists, including Lead Rakesh Dhawan felt that they have lost their connection with the satellite, but it was hope that lifted spirit of the team. Similarly, after Chandrayaan 3 soft landing on Moon, it was great moment for all of us. | remember watching iton our conference room at my office.

So last, ISRO connects all of us, and make us proud Bharatiya - gives us Human Touch.

Wings of Fellowship: How Bird Watching brought our Club Closer

Fellowship is one of the strongest pillars of Rotary. It goes beyond meetings and projects—it is about building meaningful relationships, forming bonds, and creating memories that keep members connected to each other and the Rotary mission. One such beautiful and unique initiative of our club has been the “Bird Watching Fellowship”. Since its early days, this fellowship has played a key role in welcoming and connecting members, especially the new ones. Watching birds in their natural habitat, walking through forest trails, gliding over calm waters on boat rides—these shared experiences have given members a chance to slow down, talk, laugh, and form lasting friendships. We have explored the lush surroundings of Dombivli through bird walks, nature trails, forest visits, and boating excursions. These outings are not just refreshing escapes from our busy lives, but also |. eye-openers to the rich biodiversity that thrives silently around us. Many members have been amazed to discover the wide range of | flora and fauna in our own backyard—something they had never noticed before.

The Bird Watching Fellowship has also inspired action. Just recently, around 30 members came together to make seed balls as part of a record-setting environmental project. This was a proud moment—not just for the achievement, but because it was born out of the awareness and love for nature that these fellowships have nurtured.

Fellowships like these create a sense of belonging. They help members feel seen, heard, and valued. In Rotary, where service and friendship go hand in hand, such activities strengthen our commitment—not just to each other, but to the world we serve.

As we look ahead, we hope to expand these experiences—inviting more members and families, discovering more hidden natural treasures, and doing our bit for the environment. The Bird Watching Fellowship is not just about birds; it's about bonding, learning, growing, and cherishing the beauty of life—together. Let's keep the spirit flying high—just like the birds we watch—with curiosity in our eyes and compassion in our hearts.
