Outgoing President

I still remember the 29th of June 2025, when I took over as the 64th President of Rotary Club of Durgapur, one of the oldest Clubs of Rotary International District 3240; in the presence of former Director General of Police of West Bengal, past and future District Governors of our Rotary District and a galaxy of other distinguished dignitaries. My journey of 9 years as a Rotaract member of the youth wing of our Rotary Club, motivated me to do something so that we could uphold the theme of, ‘Unite for Good’.

I insisted on retention of 100% of our Club members. Unfortunately we lost two senior and dedicated Rotarians because of health issues. However, we inducted Niladri Paul, a young and dynamic entrepreneur who belongs to Rotary family, believes in, ‘Service above Self’, the Rotary motto and upholds it by the help of sponsorship to 12 meritorious children all round the year.

I am specially thankful to Rtn. Dr. Dipanwita Sen, Rtn. Dr. Ashis Chatterjee and Rtn. Sk. Abu Zafar for their generosity in the treatment of Jaya, a patient of cerebral palsy, who has improved a lot in the last one year.

I must thank our core team, Rtn. Kalpana Mistri and Rtn. Rajkumar Ganguly for their overall support and all the dedicated members of our club for standing by me to do various service projects in the fields of Literacy (Stipend, Fee sponsorship, Bag distribution, Nation Builder Awards); Conservation of Environment (tree plantation); Health and hygiene (program on Maternal and Child health, Blood donation, Polio rally, Food distribution, Diabetes mela); Club service; Vocational service & awards and Community service (Wheel chair distribution and Dental check up camp).

I convey my good wishes to the incoming President and B. O. D for the next tenure and assure my cooperation in the forthcoming days.

As the outgoing President I thank Almighty God, my family and obviously my Rotary family and friends for the opportunity I got to serve Rotary Club of Durgapur as the 64th President.
