Tarun Masani & his team. With the approval and support of the Zonal Rotaract Representative (ZRR) of Zone - 1, Rtr. Manasvi Thappar the dream of having a Zonal Installation became a Reality. Not to forget, the efforts put in by Rtr. Manasvi Thappar to Collaborate few members from the clubs of Zone - 1, assigning them there specific roles and supervising everything. The event was finally all set to role.

The Main Event:
The ceremony saw the Presidents sharing their experiences of Rotaract & Events their clubs had organized under his/her tenure. Facts were spilled, few straight forward rather direct talks were done, mementos were given to the assigned dignitaries. DRR Rtr. Jatin Rawal introduced himself in his own style to the new members who had participated, than he installed the new Presidents and Secretaries, Oath was taken by these incoming Presidents & Secretaries. DRRe Rtr. Sumit Gupta too introduced himself to the new members of the Rotaract family, shared his opinions & took lesser time in his speech than usually DRRe takes. Rtr. Ayaz from Rotaract Club of Ahmedabad West Blind entertained the audience with his singing. Later, DG Rtn. Ashish Desai talked about his views about Rotaract, how it helps growing at personal level & his main point "ENJOY ROTARACT". The chief guest RJ Megha managed to reach the venue a bit late due to some reasons. She's an RJ & she proved it right by talking n talking. The best part in her talk was when she mentioned about her interviews with superstars of bollywood and her hatred towards Akshay Kumar because he asked the Mirchi team to tell Megha to address him as Sir. She made the talk more interesting when she started with interacting with the audience, she wanted us [read: audience] to ask her questions & she would answer to her best knowledge. She did answer well to a few questions asked to her. ZRR Rtr. Manasvi Thappar concluded with thanking everyone who had helped make this event a reality even in the minutest way possible. Appreciate Manasvi for thanking Me. The ceremony came to an end with the National Anthem.

A beautiful cake which marked the beginning of the new Rotaract Year & the closing of a very successful First Zonal installation. DRR Rtr. Jatin Rawal cut the cake & it was cherished by everyone.
