Making a difference – October 2025
A traffic booth set up at Ambajogai
A transparent booth made of quality stainless steel and glass panels was inaugurated at a busy junction of Ambajogai (Maharashtra) with the aim to ensure traffic management and the safety of motorists.
Set up by RAC Ambajogai City, RID 3132, at a cost of ₹90,000, contributed entirely by Rotactors, the police booth is furnished with a ceiling fan and internal lighting, along with an efficient sound system for public announcements.
The traffic booth was inaugurated in the presence of police officers, civic officials and community members.
A blood donation camp in Coimbatore
Over 100 volunteers came forward to donate blood at a mega blood donation camp organised by RAC Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science, RID 3206, on their college campus. It was preceded by health screening by a medical team to ensure the safety of donors, all of whom got certificates of appreciation and refreshment.
Apart from raising awareness on blood donation, the camp supported the local blood banks by collecting over 100 units which will save countless lives.
The blood donation drive brought together Rotaractors, students and medical professionals with a single purpose of saving lives. DRR Gogul R, PDRR Thanghapantieyaan and other district Rotaract leaders were present.
Book distribution at govt school
Under Project Spreading Smiles with a tagline ‘One Book at a Time,’ members of RAC Kharach Kosamba, RID 3060, distributed over 340 books to a government primary school, thus benefitting 55 students. Rotaractors wished each child a year filled with “deep learning, curiosity and success.” For, children deserve the right tools to chase their dreams, and it all starts with a book.
RID 3131 sets a record on Rotaract Day
On World Rotaract Day (March 13), a total of 1,753 people across India took an online pledge to donate their eyes and raise awareness about eye donation in a virtual event hosted by Rotaractors of RID 3131 under their flagship Project Drishti. Thus, RID 3131 set a new India Book of Records for the ‘Maximum people taking online pledge for eye donation in a day.’
This project spreads awareness on eye donation and contributes to the fight against preventable blindness in the country. Then DRR Drishti Singh and project chairperson Karishma Awari coordinated the online event in tie-up with the H V Desai Eye Hospital and Mohan Foundation, their NGO partner.
The campaign continued throughout the Rotaract Week, ensuring that more people were motivated to pledge their eyes, and the total count of future eye donors crossed 2,000 during the week.
