Rotary Clubs’ asst governors-elect vow to extend services to society

Assistant governors-elect of the region’s Rotary Clubs have vowed to extend services to all sections of society. The senior functionaries recently returned after attending a training programme at Aboard Cordelia Cruise, Lakshadweep.

Peace building, conflict prevention, disease prevention and treatment, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, community economic development, environment besides water, sanitation and hygiene were cited as the primary focus areas of Rotary International, under which the elected assistant governors were imparted tips to involve maximum number of volunteers from units allotted to them.

Mohammad Asrar, zonal coordinator-elect of Rotary International District, said the assistant governors-elect, led by Surinder Pal Sofat, had vowed to inspire and guide office-bearers and activists of various units allotted to them for putting in their best in service of humanity.

“Having imbibed basics of leadership and being part of service organisation, we feel fully equipped to inspire and involve members of various units in projects scheduled to be undertaken under the seven focus areas of the organisation,” said Sofat, adding that achievements of various clubs would be showcased prominently with intent to inspire other members.

District governor (2025-26) Bhupesh Mehta said the assistant governors-elect, rotarians and members of council from parts of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan had gained new experiences and expertise in various fields of social service during the seminar that concluded recently in Lakshadweep.

Rotary International director-elect Flt Lt KP Nagesh, district governor Sandeep Chauhan, PDG Prem Aggarwal, PDG Surinder Johri and Mehta updated participants about fundamentals of focus areas, besides highlighting the need of membership growth and women’s participation in service organisations.
