Since 2024 is a leap year, I’ll have the advantage of an extra day during my one year tenure to perform. This was the spirit displayed by Rtn Amarjit Singh Virk in his inaugural address after being installed as the President of Rotary Club Mohali Midtown for Rotary year 2023-24 at an impressive ceremony in a Chandigarh hotel on Friday evening.
Listing his priorities Rtn Amarjit Singh, a leading civil and criminal lawyer and standing counsel for a number of prominent universities and educational institutions, said he will not only make efforts to continue the good work undertaken by the previous team, but also redouble measures towards retaining members.

“My focus will be on changing the mindsets of members from ‘why should I continue in the club’ to ‘why shouldn’t I continue’,” he asserted.
As a first initiative in the Rotary year, which starts July 1, Rotary Club Mohali Midtown’s website www.rotarymohalimidtown.org was launched on the occasion.
The installation ceremony was graced by many former District Governors and current and past Presidents of other Rotary clubs from the Chandigarh tricity.
Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan, judge of the Punjab & Haryana High Court was the Chief Guest, while well known legal luminary Dr Balram Gupta was the Guest of Honour.

Apart from this, activities like sponsorships of education of the girl child, donating hearing aids and limbs, organising blood donation camps, etc. were undertaken during the year.
Only two years into its existence, the fledgling club holds the distinction of winning the Best Club, Best President and Best Secretary awards for both the Rotary years 2021-22 and 2022-23 in the Rotary International District 3080, comprising 100+ clubs in parts of Punjab, Haryana and Himchal Pradesh as also Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
