Empowering Students:
A series of three workshops on Memory Techniques, Goal-Setting, and Study Skills were conducted on the 13th of August, 2026, for Taraben Master Secondary School students, in groups of around 40 students each.

Around 120+ students learnt these unique techniques, which were conducted by PP Rtn. Avinash Mishra.

The workshop was aimed at equipping the students with tools that go beyond exams, and to further prepare them towards their future life, and success in their careers.

The sessions covered memory techniques, spaced repetition, SMART goal-setting, active recall, and time-blocking, helping students build habits of focus and discipline that will serve them well in the future.

Working in small groups, students created personalized action plans to take away, and start using immediately.

We thank Rtn. Avinaash Mishra for this series of impactful initiatives that is shaping not just better students, but better learners.

*RCMP -15th August Flag Hoisting Ceremony *

Rotary Club of Mumbai Parleshwar celebrated India's 80th Independence Day on 15th August, 2026, with a two-part programme combining a flag-hoisting ceremony, and a Speakers Meeting.

The Flag Hoisting Ceremony began at 8:30 am at Hedgewar Ground, where members and their families gathered for the national flag hoisting. The skies were very kind to us by remaining clear for those essential 60 minutes, to allow us to complete the flag hoisting and our group songs.

Two decorated war veterans were the Chief Guests:
*Col. Gadagkar, Sena Medal (Retired) — veteran of the 1971 India-Pakistan War
*Lt. Col. KD Tiwari, Sena Medal — a participant of Operation Sindoor (2025)

The ceremony opened with a welcome address, followed by the flag hoisting and a chorus of patriotic songs, Jayostute and Ye Desh Hai Veer Jawanon Ka. Parleshwar GenZ also sang a chorus song. This was followed with the National Song, Vande Mataram sung by Mr. Nitin Patki.

All songs were beautifully rendered by our members and GenZ. A Big Thank you to all who participated in the group songs, and to Rtn. Priya Kulkarni and Rtn. Sanjay Rohida for organising practice sessions and chorus.

Everyone then moved on to the Rigvedi Brahman Samaj Hall at 9:30 am, for the Panel Discussion.

The panel discussion was with Col. Gadagkar, Sena Medal (Retired) and
Lt. Col. KD Tiwari, Sena Medal as the speakers, and Rtn. Avinaash Mishra as the compere. This was followed with a Q & A session with the audience.
A Big Thank you to Rtn. Avinaash Mishra for the flawless compering, in spite of the faulty sound system.

The event was widely regarded as a memorable and meaningful tribute to the nation, blending patriotic tradition with the honouring of India’s armed forces veterans.

In Service of Rotary.
