Tellychakkar.com supports Rotary Club in its "women self defense" campaign

Tellychakkar.com, one of the most read entertainment portals across the globe, has time and again extended its support to social welfare campaigns. After its fruitful association with Smile Foundation, the platform has joined hands with The Lead Clubs Rotary Club Of Bombay Chembur West and Rotary Club Of Mumbai Ghatkopar - District 3140 in conducting Self Defense Workshops across Mumbai and Thane from 28 July to 6 August (2014) on personal safety designed to equip women to protect themselves. Talking more about it, shared Ajay Gupta, District Governor, Rotary District 3140, “We Rotarians have always been active in social causes, and here is where we have the opportunity to once again lead from the front to empower women to defend themselves.” President RC of Bombay Chembur West S R Balasubramainian said, "This is an initiative to End Crime Against Women. No abuse against women will be tolerated. We will work towards making India a safe place for women." Added Asha Janardhan, Co Chair Women Empowerment, “This project has been undertaken keeping in perspective the current scenario where crime against women has become rampant. Rotary District 3140 in association with Action Breaks Silence would be conducting five workshops in Mumbai. Action Breaks Silence, founded by UK- based Debi Stevens, is a not for profit company working to help underprivileged girls and women. These workshops will be led by a highly trained team of men and women from UK, assisted by self- defense instructors from various parts of India. It is a world class training programme.” Fair enough!!! Now, charming and talented actress Prerna Wanvari (Bandini, Parichay, Adaalat) also lent her support to give wings to the cause. Noble indeed!!! Said she: “I am really proud to be associated with Rotary District 3140 as a Youth Icon to Empower Women. I want women to be a superhero and not a damsel in distress.” Other noted celebrities are also expected to join the campaign. Tanisha Mukherjee inaugurated the campaign at Amalukh Amichand School at Matunga. Lead Clubs for the event are Rotary Club Of Bombay Chembur West And Rotary Club Of Mumbai Ghatkopar.
