Our Club  was chartered on 20th April, 1993.

We  have at present 40  active members and 2 honourary members, out of which 6 are lady members. The youngest member in  our club is in his early 30’s  and the oldest member, an honorary Rotarian, is in his mid-seventies. The average age of members of our club is 49 yrs. We have had 3 AGs but yet to produce a DG !

We have 11 PHF’s. Our Club has sponsored 6 interact clubs,1 Rotaract Club and 1 RCC.

We have implemented  3 matching grant projects, have sent 2  members on Group Study Exchange, hosted several youth exchange students, GSE teams, Rotary Volunteers, Ambassadorial Scholars, etc.

A permanent RotaryKalimpong Centre in a plot of land donated by one of our members is nearing completion.

In February 2003, Rotary Club of Kalimpong  was awarded the prestigious RUSI B. GIMI AWARD. It  is the highest award instituted by the state government of West Bengal in the field of Social Service.

On the Rotary Centennial Year, we undertook the renovation and upkeep of the Trikone Park, the most visible landmark in Kalimpong  where we  installed a  guide map  and  “The Four-Way Test” plaque. We  have dedicated this park to the people of Kalimpong and have undertaken the responsibility for its upkeep and maintenance.

7 members of our Club attended the 97^th. Rotary International Convention at Malmo and Copenhagen  in June 2006. (See Photo Album ).

Besides these, we undertake many ongoing projects that address the needs of the community. We are only 14 years old,  still a relatively young and new club, but in terms of projects and the number of people we have helped, we have accomplished much more.

Do check out our International Projects on Anvil. Let's join hands and support the efforts of Rotary International in fulfillment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary's mission, and the achievement of world understanding and peace through local, national and international humanitarian, educational and cultural programs.
