Dear Rotarians, ,

I bring warm greetings from our District Governor, Rtn. Ravishankar Dakoju, and our District First Lady, Paula Ravishankar.

As I reflect on my Rotary journey, I feel grateful to be part of this wonderful organization. I am truly humbled and honored to serve as the 27th President of Rotary Bangalore Udyog. Thank you all for your trust and confidence in me.

I convey my heartfelt appreciation to the outgoing President and his team for the excellent work they have done this year. Their dedication, achievements, and signature projects have laid a strong foundation on which we will proudly build.

As I accept this responsibility, I am inspired by the vision of our RI President, Olayinka Hakeem Babalola, 'Create Lasting Impact.' This theme reminds us that as People of Action, every project, every act of service, and every life we touch should leave a positive and lasting difference in our communities and across the world.

At the same time, we are fortunate to be guided by our District Governor, AKS Rtn. Ravi Shankar Dakoju, whose inspiring vision, 'Dhanyavad,' teaches us that gratitude is not just a word but an action. By serving with humility, appreciating every volunteer, every donor, every partner, and every beneficiary, we can build stronger relationships and create greater impact.

Guided by these two inspiring visions, Rotary Bangalore Udyog is committed to serving with gratitude, compassion, and dedication while creating lasting impact through meaningful and sustainable service.

Our club is blessed with experienced Past Presidents, dedicated members, and energetic young Rotarians. This unique blend of wisdom, experience, and youthful energy gives me great confidence that together we will take Rotary Bangalore Udyog to even greater heights.

This year, Rotary Bangalore Udyog is committed to creating lasting impact through Rotary’s Seven Areas of Focus.

Along with continuing support for our ongoing projects — the three dialysis centres, RBU Blood Bank, and Rotary Udyog Eye Clinic — we will also move ahead with our signature initiatives.

Our planned projects for 2026-27 include:

We are also planning to provide five dialysis machines at MSR Hospitals to offer dialysis treatment free of cost to BPL cardholders, with consumables covered separately. (Under Global Grant Project)

I am also deeply inspired by our Vocational Service project, which is dedicated to empowering rural girls through opportunity and dignity. Through this initiative, we are providing a dormitory for rural girls, vocational training at our Rotarian’s factory with a stipend, and later, placement support as well. Our Rotarians have also kindly agreed to cover the food expenses for one year, making this a truly meaningful step toward self-reliance and empowerment.

Friends, this year is not about what I can achieve alone—it is about what we can accomplish together. Every member has a role to play, every act of service matters, and every project has the power to transform lives. I look forward to working alongside each one of you as we serve with gratitude, create lasting impact, and uphold the ideals of Rotary. Together, let us make this a memorable and meaningful Rotary year.
