Project CPR
RBNW has launched CPR Training Initiative on July 1, with Manipal Hospitals. Over 250 participants got trained in the first session. This life-saving campaign is to build heart-safe communities by empowering everyday citizens with the skills and confidence to respond in a cardiac emergency. In a cardiac arrest, every second counts. Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival — yet most people don’t feel prepared to act. Through this initiative, we’ll provide:
- Hands-on CPR training sessions
- Awareness drives in schools, offices, and communities
- Collaboration with local healthcare leaders and first responders
Project - Cyber Literacy & Awareness
With the huge increase in Cyber crime impacting the community, RBNW designed and launched this important and need of the hour project. Over 1000 students from 6 different schools from Bangalore urban and rural areas got the coaching on safety measures while using internet and online transactions.
Project Annie
The Rotary Bangalore North West has been providing exceptional services for the visually impaired students. Annie Smart devices are degigned to support visually impaired students by providing them with Braille literacy through an interactive, audio-guided, gamified learning device called "Annie". This device, developed by Thinkerbell Labs, helps students learn Braille independently through interactive lessons. The project falls under Rotary International's focus area of "Basic Education and Literacy". RBNW has sponsored Annie Smart devices to several schools thereby benefiting the learning and development of visually impaired students.
Project - Laptop
RBNW has donated 14 laptops to deserving and destitute candidates and schools which needed help to set up their computer laboratories. This will enable learning opportunities for the students and progress in their education.

Rotaract & Interact Clubs under the aegis of Rotary Bangalore North West
Rotaract Clubs
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they're sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. All Rotaract efforts begin at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities' physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.

Interact Clubs
Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting. Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of
- Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
- Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
- Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
- Advancing international understanding and goodwill
