Rotary Club of Tumkur RYLA Record:

In a historic and inspiring feat, the Rotary Club of Tumkur (RI District 3192), under the visionary leadership of Rtn. Rajeshwari Rudrappa, the first lady President of the club, successfully conducted 153 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) programmes in a single day on 13th January 2025. Spanning multiple locations across Karnataka, this massive initiative focused on empowering high school students with leadership skills, teamwork, and values that prepare them to become responsible future citizens.

This remarkable accomplishment has been officially recognized by the ACE Book of Records, not just for the scale and precision of execution, but for the spirit of service that powered it. Spearheaded by a dynamic leader, Rtn. Rajeshwari Rudrappa, the event mobilized countless volunteers, educators, and community members to reach thousands of young minds in a single day, turning a bold vision into a transformative reality.

Rajeshwari Rudrappa’s pioneering role as the first lady President of the Rotary Club of Tumkur marks a powerful moment of change not just in the club’s history, but in the broader movement for inclusive leadership. Her unwavering commitment to youth empowerment and community service has left an indelible mark.
