About Rotaract Club of Behala
Rotaract Club of Behala was chartered on 19-03-1993. Under
the aegis of Rotary Club of Behala, which is one of the best Rotary Clubs in the
city, we have always been in the forefront of Rotaract World.
Able leaders, members and alumni have constantly shaped the history and we
are proud of the fact that history making is a never ending process with us. A
network of alumni in diverse fields has made us aware of the powerful platform
that we are on.
It has by far been one of the most exciting and admired clubs in Kolkata city.
Our club was revived after a gap on 1997 - 98 by Rtr. Biswajit Goswami. We have
set standards for ourselves and now we are constantly revising them and
upgrading them. This is where we enjoy rotaracting, challenging ourselves,
stepping ahead and moving forward - always.
