Rotary Club sponsors 19 gas-based crematoriums in state; Vizianagaram unit inaugurated
Rotary Club District Governor (3020) M. Venkateswara Rao announced at the Club Assembly held in Vizianagaram on Tuesday that the Club has sponsored 19 gas-based crematoriums in various districts, including the newly inaugurated one at Vizianagaram.
Attending the event as the chief guest, he asked all the 82 Rotary Clubs in his jurisdiction to take up environment-friendly initiatives such as setting up gas-based crematoriums in their respective places to reduce deforestation caused by the traditional use of firewood for the last rites.
Mr. Rao praised Vizianagaram club President G. Vindo Kumar and B. Naga Prakash for taking up activities, such as setting up water plants, organising plantation drives, and distributing tricycles to physically challenged individuals.
The Assistant Governor D. Uma Balaji and Club-Services wing Director B. Radhika Rani presented an overview of the service activities undertaken during the Assembly. Several past presidents and members took part in the meeting.
