July 2024
The Inner Wheel Club of Bombay, a pillar of the city’s service community, held its annual presidential installation ceremony on July 1, 2024, at the C.K. Naidu Hall, CCI, Mumbai. The Club ushers in new leadership and celebrates service.
The event marked the passing of the torch for the 2024-2025 term with outgoing President Zarin Havewala passing the baton to incumbent President Dr. Mita Roy.
District Chairman Prerana Raichur graced the ceremony and inspired the attendees as Chief Guest and the young and dynamic Rotarian Satyan Israni, President of Rotary Club of Bombay, joined as Guest of Honour, further solidifying the strong bond between the two partner service organisations.
The Club also took the opportunity to honour one of its veterans, Past District Chairman Lata Palekar, whose dedication has inspired generations of Inner Wheel members. A highlight was the presentation of the prestigious Mira Mehta Award. This year, Mini Suboth, the driving force behind the NGO ‘Akshay Shakti’, received recognition for her tireless work in empowering women and promoting education across diverse segments of society.
The theme for the new year, ‘Building a Future’, resonated through poetry. The evening featured readings of ‘Where the Mind is Without Fear’ by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and a powerful dance performance of Sohan Lal Dwivedi’s ‘Koshish Karne Walon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti’ by underprivileged children.
