Babushahi Bureau
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), September 14, 2026: Rtr. Purandhi Gupta has assumed charge as the District Rotaract Representative (DRR) for 2026–27, becoming the first woman from Himachal Pradesh to hold the position.
Under her leadership, the district has adopted the theme “Seva Se Siddhi” as a year-long service initiative, aligned with Rotary’s vision of “Unstoppable”.
As part of the initiative, every Rotaract club in the district will identify one underprivileged family and extend support to them throughout the year. The programme aims to encourage sustained community service rather than one-time interventions.
The initiative will focus on strengthening the involvement of Rotaractors in community welfare while promoting leadership, service and social responsibility.
With Gupta taking charge as DRR, the district aims to make the 2026–27 Rotaract year meaningful through sustained service initiatives and greater community impact.
