“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

A day when the phone call rang and the time – NO time whatsoever I took to make a decision to join to club.

We wanted to give back to the community and the best way to do that was through any of the organization that worked for the community that was the major purpose for us joining Rotary Under the able leadership of Nehal Mam, Nimitbhai and Rabizbhai the club has given a lot to the community in variety of ways. We have Rtn. Tushar Shah as the DGE for the year 2024-25 from our home club taking the lead of the district 3060. I have personally found him as philanthropist, a person with deep knowledge on rotary and always sharing them with his team mates, advanced planner and compassionate.

I feel myself lucky enough to lead the Rotary Club of Surat Tapi under his DG ship. I also have the guidance of the senior members Abbasbhai, Chiragbhai and Rupalben who help to lead in the direction for the benefit of the club.

The club during the year 2024-25 will continue with the activities for empowering women health care, Education and Nutrition. I believe that if a woman is educated and well nourished will lead to better society affecting all the aspects of life. The way of thinking and reasoning power will be affected positively that will lead to the overall growth of the community and ultimately fulfill the club goals.

As the president elect will lead and motivate our club, ensuring that club member feel valuable, inspired and connected to each other. We shall work hand-in-hand with our assistant governor and incoming leadership team to set annual goal that support your club’s strategic plan.

Life is not series of problems to be solved – its journey that one should be fascinated by President elect Nidhi Pachchigar
