Life time Achievement Award

November 2, 2017 / Prof. KCR Raja

Address of K C R Raja at the Life time Achievement Awards Function of the Rotary Club of Bombay West on Wednesday, 24 May at at Rotary Service Centre, Juhu Tara Road, Mumbai.

I am indeed grateful to you for conferring on me this prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

I recall that this award was instituted in 1966 and the first recipient was Mr Arvind Mafatlal . Since then distinguished achievers from within the Rotary and outside have received this award. The number is not very large .We have had Chaturbhujbhai, Mohanbhai, the seniormost Rotarian in this Club today , Ramesh Oza who has so singularly and nobly devoted himself to a great cause and Sukdev Puriji whose knowledge and wisdom have been as much at the service of his profession as at social causes. Little did I dream then I would one day be considered worthy of entry into this select band of awardees.
