It was my sheer luck to take a short trip to the small town of Kalimpong located in the Sub-Himalayan region of the Indian state of West Bengal on 19th of December, 2024.
At an average elevation of 1,250 meters, education, floriculture and tourism are the main contributors to Kalimpong. Exchanging traditional mementos and Rotary flags, we set our evening rolling. The next morning, taking an official visit to Club premises blew my mind . What a perfect blend of modern architecture with breathtaking scenery beauty, Strong fellowship amongst the members, meaningful community and international service projects characterize the Rotary Club of Kalimpong.The club being a divergent mix where ethnicity, profession, gender and demography are concerned, the Rotary Club of Kalimpong is a microcosm of a larger fabric that makes up the different communities who call Kalimpong their home.
Most importantly, being a 100% Paul Haris Fellow Club, contribution to The Rotary Foundation is significant.
The club boosts of a digital library, community kitchen and water storage tanks which itself is a signage of sustainability.
I am amazed by the hospitality of President and the lovely memories spend will etch in my heart forever. Looking forward to more visits and conversations. - Kalimpong
