A Fully Sponsored RYLA
The Club successfully organized a fully sponsored RYLA from 5th to 7th September, marking a milestone in youth empowerment and inclusivity. This year, 62 students from government schools in and around Darjeeling, all from economically weaker sections, participated in fully sponsored by the club. Reflecting Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self,” the club raised ₹3 lakhs through member contributions, local sponsors, and community support, covering accommodation, meals, transport, learning materials, and activities. The three-day program featured sessions on leadership, teamwork, communication, ethics, goal setting, and community service, with interactive workshops, group exercises, and motivational talks. Students actively engaged in discussions and outdoor challenges that built confidence, collaboration, and creativity. The program exemplified Rotary’s commitment to compassion, inclusivity, and youth empowerment.
