    The person donating is the Jalan family, they are into transport and have large fleet of trucks. They have donated to get quid pro quo from RTO.

    Rotary Mangalore Central,your justification is not convincing.Pl note that driving students does not come to RTO for licence instead every thing is done through agents by paying exhorbitent fees/commission etc.,
    Of course its money pooled by Rotary from donors we have nothing to further.Our point is that there are more deserving parties for charity which makes the donors/Rotary more contented.Thanks and regards

    Don't think that this water filter is only for RTO staff, I think it is for general public also. What is wrong if one water filter is kept in RTO office ? Any body can go & drink. I know that Mangalore Rotary Club has given to many Schools also.

    It would be naive to believe that Rotary is above the standards of the RTO. One only has to attend their annual meetings/ regional gatherings to know how low they can go. So please dont go by thier so called noble gestures.

    The RTO Officials can buy a Water filter every day from thier earnings.We are surprised why Rotary club chose RTO instead of some School or Anathashram

    Enlightened citizens will not appriciate this gesture of Rotary Club.Because RTO is one of the important office that is pooling taxes of the people to Government.They are capable of proving the basic necessity to their staff and also it the duty of RTO to provide drinking water to their limited visitors.Staff of the RTO too does not need the gesture as they are well paid (among other thins?)Instead Rotary Club should have donated this Drinking water filter to the needy such as hospital or even Mangalore One office wherein really deserved use the facility.In short meal should be given to the hungry and not the person whose belly is overfilled.That is th true essence of charity work.
