'ROTARY CLUB OF AMBARNATH EAST' was established in 1994 with 21 charter members. Rotary is a group of people from different vocations, different age groups, different religions and so on, but their a im is to work for betterment of Whole Society.
On the basis of 'Service Above Self', right from beginning, Club's motto was " In the very first year even before getting club's charter, we could raise a handsome fund by releasing 1st Souvenir in 1994. We planted more than 100 Trees across Anandnagar MIDC Station Road. Today these Trees are not less than 40-50' in height, providing shadow and pollution free environment to lacs of people walking across.
The next Pilot Project started was 'Rotary Employment Centre' in April 1995, We started this centre on a low profile but with multifold growth of Anand Nagar MIDC, we could enrich Employer's Data Bank, there by providing more jobs to unemployed youth / job seekers. Today we have reached to a level, where in average, we are providing one job per day.
The next ONGOING PROJECT was our 'Rotary Adivasi Prathamik Shala' - A Marathi Medium School. The Thakurpada village people approached us fora 'Mandir'. We offered them to provide With 'Gyan Mandir' where permanent means Of Education for children can be facilitated. presently Approx 300 boys & girls are imparted education at this school.
In the year 2000, we started 'Rotary Adivasi Clinic' in our school premises.
Latest we have added 'Rotary Legal Cell' in the year 2016 with the purpose of providing free legal help & advice to the poor & weaker section of the society.
Now We are celebrating "Silver Jubilee" year Of the Club, with 50+ Stalwart members, several donors & well wishers. Recently we have entered to our own newly constructed premises 'ROTARY AMBER BHAWAN' at Kher Section, Ambarnath East.
Other than our Ongoing projects, we have been organising various Competitions, VocationalSeminars, Blood Donation and Health Checkup Camps etc.
"Rotary Vocational Center" for poor and Adivasi Youth is our next dream project. This in turn Will create skilled manpower catering to the need of our fast growing industrial units in MIDC established all over Ambernath.
