Acceptance speech from President G. Boolchand

To be President of Rotary club Jeevan Bima Nagar is a great

opportunity in life. On this memorable occasion, I look back

in time when I decided to serve the community at large - being

part of various NGOs’ and social service organisations, after

serving at Def. R& D organisation for over 37 years. Technical

consultancy is a way to keep in touch with rapid changing technical scenario in

Def. R & D sector.

The primary aim or basic thought behind this was to give back the society

for what all I have received over the years. It is a pleasure as well as honour for me

to be installed as President of Rotary Bangalore JBN for RY 2012-13 and I sincerely

thank every Rotarian of the club for this opportunity.

A new team has taken charge at RB JBN. In this transition, our effort will

be to maintain continuity, drawing wisdom from our outgoing team, as well as focus

on new areas to serve to community/society at large that need our attention and

priority. At the same time RBJBN will support District Signature projects on health

care, housing and literacy.

This event will forever remain etched in my mind and yet with modesty, I

recognize that RY 2012-13 will depend upon what RBJBN will perform. For this, I

request good wishes and co-operation from all Rotarians of JBN and from Peers and

past presidents ahead of me from whom I very humbly seek motivation and

guidance.

Thank you One and All.

We welcome our beloved DG

Rtn Badri Prasad on GOV &

KNOW OUR DISTRICT GOVERNOR The eldest child of Boggaram Radhakrishna and Ranganayakamma,

Badri Prasad began his journey of service in Rotary as a thirteen year

old Annette of Rotary Bangalore South where his father was a member

from 1969. He joined Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar in 1988 and

assumed the office of the President in 2003, after serving the Club in

various positions

During his years as Director, Secretary and later President, Badri conceived many

significant and innovative projects and administrative procedures. His year as

President saw outstanding projects being completed; notable amongst them were the

President’s 5 Star Recognition which motivated Rotarians to give more of themselves,

the construction of the Attic annexe to the Rotary House of Service thus facilitating

holding of fellowship meetings, the Rotex 2004 Roads capes Auto Expo which raised

substantial funds for service projects and the crowning glory being the Club’s entry

into the Rotary Foundation Hall of Honour by adding 50 more Paul Harris Fellows

making all the 110 members as PHFs. The Club won the Best Club Award in the Large

Club Category.

He then served the District with distinction, holding the positions of District Treasurer,

Assistant Governor, Chairman Major Gifts, Conference Secretary, Director Club

Service, Chairman TRF Seminar, Chairman PETS, GSR for Rotary Bangalore Lakeside,

Chairman Group Study Exchange and District Secretary.

He has shown his commitment to the Rotary Foundation by his wife and him becoming

Major Donors. All his family members are Paul Harris Fellows.

Badri graduated from Bangalore University with a BE in Electronics.

He is Managing Partner of Rajalakshmi Perfumery Works which has been

manufacturing incense sticks since 1935. He and his wife own and manage coffee

estates in Chikamagalur District in Karnataka.

His soul mate is Jayashree whom he married in 1979. This wonderful couple has two lovable children; daughter Rachita and son Nitish Harihar. Rachita is married to Pradeep and has a daughter Shriya. Son Nitish is a Mechanical Engineer.

Known for his affectionate nature and having served Rotary thus far with diligence, dedication and devotion, his fellow Rotarians considered Badri Prasad to be an outstanding leader and honoured him by electing him to lead R I District 3190 as District Governor in 2012-13.
