Mangalagiri Rotaractors keen to take up big projects
Chartered in June 2021 with 30 members, the community-based RAC Mangalagiri, RID 3150, is taking up at least three events and projects a month by associating itself with its parent Rotary — RC Mangalagiri — “as we are still learning the ropes and hoping to take up big projects soon,” said club president Bindu Sneha.
On Independence Day, the Rotaractors planted 20 saplings, along with Rotarians who planted 30 saplings, at the Eco Park in Mangalagiri.
“We thank RC Deccan Hyderabad which has donated ₹2 lakh to our secretary Sadiya Almas, a weightlifter, to meet her expenses,” says Bindu. Sadiya was also assured that her future sporting needs and travel expenses will be sponsored fully by the club.
A team of seven Rotaractors visited the Sharon Children Home in Navaluru village and they were entertained by 40 children who performed thematic cultural shows to mark Krishna Janmasthami.

The club organised a painting contest on International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer (Sep 16) at the Vijeta Higher Secondary School. Around 35 students took part in the event. “We gave mementos to three winners from each class. Rtn Sakhamuri Uma Maheswara Rao, secretary of our parent Rotary, who is also the school’s director presided over the event.”
Just a three-month-old Rotaractor, Bindu says she has to turn down the offer from RID 3150 regional secretary Munagala Mohan M Teja to host a Rotaract meet in the first week of November. “We will be participating in the Rotaract meet wherever it is being held, but as a newbie in the Rotaract world, we are in the process of getting familiarised through regular interactions with Rotaractors and Rotarians.”
The third-year B Tech student at the Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology, Namburu, near Guntur, is confident that in the “days ahead we will gain confidence to take up big service projects on our own under the mentorship of our parent Rotary.”
