Prafull J Sharma, District Governor 2017-18, for Rotary International District 3141 (Mumbai, India) says, “Mumbai
and Palghar, with over 90 clubs, make a huge district and a DisCon
gives the Rotarians an opportunity to not only meet at one platform but
also get inspired and invigorated from various eminent Speakers to go
back to their Clubs and carry on their social service
projects with renewed vigour. Rotary runs an Eye Bank and a Skin Bank
in Mumbai and carries on hundreds of projects in organ donation,
diabetes awareness and treatment, education, water and sanitation,
renewable energy, organ donation and many other areas.
We also adopt villages and try and uplift them as Gramotthan projects. I
want to infuse renewed energy among the over 1000 Rotarians who will
gather at Rotary Utsav so that they do get energized to “make a
difference” to society which is our theme for this
year, given by Rotary International President Ian Riseley”.
