Oct ROTARY COIMBATORE ZENITH
27
After a excellent breakfast with the dynamic President Meena Gopalakrishnan and Secretary Akilan we
drove to Kunnathur Village Panchayat where the club has taken up the de-silting and strengthening the
bunds by planting native trees of 3 ponds covering 2.6 acres at a cost of about 3 lakhs which will help
about 3000 people of that area towards irrigation and drinking water. Also planted around 24 saplings
at the completed tank next to the pond. Next visited their adopted school at Gandhimanagar, where
they have painted all the blocks of the school giving it a very fresh look. Again a very innovative method
was used to give some support to the parents by hiring them to paint the school. Tree plantation was
also done there. Had a very interactive Club assembly during which one of their members Rtn.Dinesh
J. Mehta donated Rs 50000/= to Jeevan Shanthi Trust, and Rs 15000/= to a hotel staff’s sister who is
suffering from a heart ailment.
AG Baskaran and GGR Kumar are doing a great job

Oct ROTARY COIMBATORE NORTH
29 The dynamic team of President Ramesh Ramachandran and Secretary Santhosh are doing an excellent job
in leading this 40 year old club which can boast of having sponsored many clubs in Coimbatore. Charter
member Nanjappan and senior members like Ravi Shankar and Karunanidhi are like pillars the young and
new dynamic members rely on. They can really boast of some outstanding members among their ranks
– Gowtham Siddarth a young genius who is into designing and manufacturing innovative machines. His
ingenuity and philanthropy was seen when he donated a special machine worth 9 lakhs to remove the husk
from the coconuts. This machine was given to the farmer’s community of Velingiri Uzhhavam benefitting the
farmers to a large extent. Ashok Paul the man behind the District project of E Clinic and Vivekanand for the
oxygen Concentrators have not only made the Club but also the District proud. The evening meet was very
lively with a unique dress code – blue jeans, white shirt and a sporty cap . Young Gowtham was recognized
along with his proud parents.
AG Krishnakumar and GGR Bhinu are a big support for the Club.
