Rotary Clubs in Bangalore work for welfare of prison inmates
A Member of the National Human Rights Commission, Shri Sudarshan Agarwal, recently sought the assistance of Rotary Clubs across the country in improving the lot of prison inmates. Responding immediately to the call, the Rotary Clubs of Bangalore together with the non-governmental organization, Community Concerns, and in cooperation with the Bangalore Dermatologists Society and Rotary TTK Blood Bank, carried out the medical examination of over 2500 inmates of the Central Prison in Bangalore
Blood samples were drawn to screen inmates for illnesses such HIV, leprosy etc. The Rotarians, together with about 40 doctors, were able to accomplish this task in a record time of two days. The inmates were counseled in the process. This gesture of the Rotarians and doctors, assisted by the prison officials, was greatly appreciated by the prison inmates.
The Rotarians have planned to take up further counseling of the prisoners on various issues and to develop business and technical skills amongst the inmates so that they can be more easily rehabilitated after release.
The Commission has noted the praiseworthy work done by the Rotary Clubs in Bangalore to help the prison inmates of the Central Prison in Bangalore by screening over 2500 inmates for infectious diseases and general health. The
Commission appreciated the keen interest shown by the 40 doctors in counseling and treating the inmates, and has observed that they should receive appropriate recognition and be honoured for their outstanding services
