Distance Learning Project

Pradeep Wagh, the Immediate Past President of the Rotary Club of Pune Shivajinagar in India, will speak on Thursday evening of a joint Global Grant service project on which both the Rotary club in India and the Jersey City Rotary Club collaborated. An initial contribution of $5,000 from each of the two clubs formed the basis of a $40,000 Global Grant which allowed students in remote areas of India to receive a quality educa-tion through the use of audio-visual equipment. The Rotary Districts of both clubs – District 3131 in India and District 7490 in New Jersey - each contributed $6,500.
