District Governor 2025-2026

This year we're keeping it simple and local: health, education, dignity. Our focus is on three practical fronts—HPV awareness and vaccination for adolescent girls, safe, well-maintained school toilets, and digital classrooms/smart boards in government schools with teacher support. Clubs and CSR partners will help fund, implement, and measure each project so every rupee turns into visible change. If any of this speaks to you, join us.

Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus

Peacebuilding & Conflict Prevention

Dialogue, youth leadership, and community mediation that keep neighbours talking—and thriving.

Disease Prevention & Treatment

From screenings to follow-ups, we back practical health camps and care where it's needed most.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)

Safe toilets, clean water, and everyday hygiene habits that actually stick.

Maternal & Child Health

Antenatal support, nutrition, and timely referrals so mothers and babies get a fair start.

Basic Education & Literacy

Smart classrooms, teacher support, and reading programs that meet students where they are.

Community Economic Development

Skills, small business support, and market linkages that put steady income within reach.

Supporting the Environment

Local greening, waste management, and climate-aware practices that protect what we all share.
