The positive side of Demonetization in India - Bengaluru Midnight Marathon 2016 is back

              The tenth edition of ^th December 2016. This year’s marathon will take in the back ground of Demonetization 

Bengaluru Midnight Marathon 2016 will unfurl on 10 December 2016

              The effect of Demonetization on Bengaluru Midnight Marathon 2016  will be minimal as all expenses are normally routed in the Digital Mode only. However, petty expenses could be a challenge. The organisers have another couple of weeks to completely migrate their expenses to the Digital Mode.

              The receipts primarily through Registration Fees and Sponsorship Fees are through the digital mode.

              Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor has announced the X edition of the only midnight marathon in India, the ‘Bengaluru Midnight Marathon 2016’ (BMM). Race day will be on December 10 at the Karnataka Trade Promotion Organization (KTPO) venue in Whitefield. Boxing legend Mary Kom has been announced as the event ambassador for the BMM.

BMM is the main fundraising event of Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor. Funds raised from the Midnight Marathon will be used to expand the scope of the club's activities.

              All the traditional races will be part of the Race Day.

The Race Day is on 10th of December 2016.

All races will start from KTPO, Whitefield.

This year, the club has focused on three signature projects with significant social impacts.

Signature Project No 1. Adoption of 7 Government Schools: RBITC has been working with the management of 7 schools (with over 4,000 students) for interventions at multiple levels – infrastructure, science & computer labs, potable drinking water, upgrading toilet facilities, library & books, teachers’ training, conducting classes through volunteers.

Signature Project No 2. Integrated Village Development: RBITC has adopted a village near Hoskote (B. Thimmasandra) for “Integrated Village Development”. This will involve interventions in the areas of healthcare, education, water, sanitation, livelihood and skill development. RBITC have already conducted a medical camp for all the residents (108 families) of the village. It intends to extend this over 9 additional villages in the district.

              Signature Project No 3. Healthcare: In partnership with Sakra World Hospital and Sankara Eye Hospital, RBITC plans to make a difference to over 500 underprivileged bread winners in a family.
