School Diaries - Mic and Speaker Donation
We donated a speaker and a mic for Morning Assembly at Govt Higher Primary School, Yemalur. We hope the school makes good use of the items provided.
Tree Plantation Drive
We organised a plantation drive at a PHC in Marathahalli. The event proved to be a great means to contribute towards afforestation and combating global warming/climate change.
Bappa Morya
Our Rotaractors had a fun-filled clay Ganesha idol-making fellowship “Bappa Morya” led by our very own Rtr. Jash. He guided us with his easy-to-follow instructions to create these beautiful idols.

5 fans were installed at the Yemalur Govt School under our flagship project. This project was possible due to the generous donations we received during our fundraiser events.

Rotaract Club of Palmville visited the Carmelaram foster home and organized a colorful, fun-filled origami workshop for the kids from the Dream India Network. Rtr. Harshitha taught us 5 easy-to-follow Origami patterns. This was followed by fun activities for the kids, in-kind donations.
Club Fellowships
Kovalam Trip
We held an offline fellowship event for 2 days & 1 night at Kovalam. As most of our club members are based out of Bengaluru, we thought it’s a great idea to get away from our daily schedules & traffic noise, and replace it with the soothing sound of waves crashing on the shore and the smell of the coastal breeze.
Big Pitcher, Sarjapur Road
After a successful independence day event, the planning and execution team had a fellowship lunch at the Big Pitcher, Sarjapur Road. We had a great time bonding over food and drinks, discussing how eventful the day was, planning the future projects and had lots of fun.
Bappa Moriya
Following our Ganesha clay modelling session, we finished the day off with some delicious lunch. We talked about how much fun we had making our disfigured and imperfect models. Even though it was a first time experience for most of us, we had a blast! Looking forward to more such events!
F1 Screening
A lot of our club members are avid F1 aficionados and we wanted to watch F1 race together. We made this a reality by hosting a screening event where some of our experienced club members gave us a quick lesson on the sport!
Intra Club Chess Tournament
We hosted our first ever intra club chess tournament. We had club members who are experienced chess players and players who play occasionally. Overall, it was a fun experience and wake up call for most of us to play more and get better!
Samvriddhi Fellowship
After executing our club installation successfully, we ended the event on a high by hosting a fellowship activity. Two club members organized a game of riddles among the event attendees. It was a great experience for all club members.
Professional Development

The orientation session about Rotaract was hosted via Google Meet on 23rd July 2022. PP Rtr. Surya Kiran explained about the origin and history of Rotaract, its growth over time. He also touched upon the focus areas, and the positive impact we can create around us.
