Dear Fellow Rotarians,

It is with great joy and optimism that I extend my warmest congratulations to our newly installed District Governor Santosh Marathe. This is more so a special moment for me personally as we both come from the same club RC Poona West and we have been working together close to 28 years in Rotary. This is a moment of renewal and inspiration for our entire district, as we welcome a leader who embodies the true spirit of Rotary—Service Above Self.

The installation of a new District Governor marks not only the beginning of a new Rotary year but also a fresh chapter filled with opportunities to grow stronger together. Under your leadership, we are confident that our clubs will continue to thrive, innovate, and serve with purpose.

To the outgoing District Governor and my close friend Shital Shah, thank you for your dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment throughout the past year. Your humble nature guidance has left a meaningful impact on us all.

As Governor Nominee, I look forward to supporting this year’s goals, learning from our collective achievements, and working collaboratively to build on our legacy of service. Together, let’s continue to uplift our communities, empower our youth, and uphold the values that define Rotary.

Wishing you all a year filled with meaningful service, impactful projects, and enduring fellowship.

Yours in Rotary,

Rtn.Charu Shrotri
District Governor 2027-28
Rotary District 3131.
