Col Rajan Phadke addressed our Club on Kargil War. The war
stories are thrillers. They inspire. Kargil episode makes a great inspiring
story, and Col. Rajan Phadke is a great story teller too!
Wars are destructive, and wars rarely end a conflict.
Sometimes however, a war becomes inevitable. Such wars must be fought. And the
warriors are remembered for gallantry. They are remembered for the courage and commitment.
Some wars have no animal or person as enemy. Take was
against poverty for example, or literacy. Or the war against polio!
It is here that Rotary comes in. In a sense, Rotary is an
army. It is an army of very committed warriors who are fighting many a social
evil. And tis army is fighting to create a better world for all citizens.
Your Rotary Club will do its role in supporting good quality
education by handing over e-learning kit to the School. And this is only the
first step.
In real life, a war need not be a physical war. Fighting the
devil inside our mind is the biggest of all wars. One must redefine ‘commitment’
for himself.
For this purpose, there is no better institution than
Rotary. Do associate and involve yourself in every activity of our Club.
