For World Polio Day 2024, more than 1,200 young people hoisted placards as they lined
up in formation to spell out "Polio Free Bharat" (India) when viewed from above. Students
performed traditional dances and skits during a program at the community sports complex of
Dwarka, a neighborhood of New Delhi. The day concluded with a spirited rally. "There was a
huge response from the public and youths, including members of Rotaract and Interact clubs,"
says Mahesh Trikha, then governor of District 3011. The district has sponsored similar gatherings
for about a decade.

In support of polio eradication, Ralph Zuke has raised more than $57,000 by pedaling his
rickshaw bicycle from his Missouri home to recent Rotary International Conventions in North
America: Toronto in 2018, Houston in 2022, and Calgary this year, a journey in which he
braved hail, sleet, and snow, and even skirted a tornado. His next opportunity will be at the 2028
convention in Minneapolis. "If it's needed," Zuke adds, optimistically. "I hope we'll be done with
polio by then." As governor of District 6060, Zuke rolls out the rickshaw for parades and on his
rounds to clubs. "It allows me to tell my passengers about polio, Rotary, and what Rotary has
done for polio. It's a captive audience for a couple minutes. That's all they need," says Zuke. "If
they donate, that's great. If they don't, that's fine too, but at least they know the story of what
Rotary's done with polio."
