It is rare to find Rotaractors dedicated to a single project for over 10 years. RAC H R College, Mumbai, is one such Rotaract club in RID 3141 that has been focusing all its efforts towards developing a cluster of ­villages in ­Sangamner taluk, Maharashtra, since 2012, through its Project Aashayein.

Expressing his happiness in spending time with Rotaractors across South Asia, RI director Anirudha Roychowdhury advised the youth brigade of Rotary to “live and enjoy every moment of Rotaract, and avoid controversy that will bring disrepute to your RI district.”

More than 3,000 saplings/plants were planted during the last Rotary year in various parts of Belgaum city in Karnataka, thanks to Rotaractors of RAC Belgaum Yuva Darpan, RID 3170. “We enjoyed this environment project and all of us were deeply involved in the greening drive right from the start,” says club president Prathamesh Joshi.

A two-day Gyan Khel Mahotsav hosted by RAC Manali, RID 3070, at the Jawaharlal Nehru ­Government College, Haripur, offered 250 athletes from four colleges and village panchayats across Himachal Pradesh a unique ­opportunity to display their athletic skills and draw attention from the sports authority.
