The History
of Rotary Club of Howrah in a nutshell RC
Howrah brings together leaders to exchange ideas
and take action to help empower youth, enhance health,
promote peace, and eradicate polio.A few dedicated
friends from Calcutta planted a sapling of Rotary

bore fruits all through 75 years to help mankind.
This
is the 75 years of installation. Seventy two years
in the life of an organisation is long enough necessitating
a look into the past and take stock of what our predecessors
, general members, other partners in service and
the beneficiaries together have done or achieved..
