Rotary Club Solan: A Legacy of Service
The Rotary Club of Solan was established in 1970, thanks to the significant efforts of the late Niranjan Singh Talib and Rtn. V. D. Dutta. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Shimla, the original charter was issued on September 1, 1970, and signed by William E. Walk, President, and Victor Dover, Secretary General of Rotary International.
Father Emanuel served as the Charter President, with Rtn. V.K. Dutta as the Club Secretary for the years 1970-71 and 1971-72. Among the charter members were Rtn. Niranjan Singh Talib, Rtn. Mohinder Kapoor, Rtn. Inder Mohan Chhabra, Rtn. D. S. Chopra, Rtn. Dr. Laxmi Sharma, Rtn. Dr. S.R. De, Rtn. Yogesh Mehta, and Rtn. Mahinder Gupta. The club's charter was presented by District Governor Dr. Som Nath Dhingra of Dehradun.
In its inaugural year, the theme set by RI President William E. Walk Jr. was "Bridge the Gap." Over the years, the club has thrived under the leadership of various Rotarians, each contributing to its rich history of service and fellowship.
In 1997, the club's original charter was misplaced. Through the dedicated efforts of President Col. D. N. Kanwarpal, a new charter was issued on November 19, 1997, signed by RI President Glen W. Kinross and RI Secretary General Aam Hyatt.
The Rotary Club of Solan celebrated its Golden Jubilee on September 1, 2020, marking 50 years of committed service and community impact.
