February 2026 was a dynamic and impactful month for the Rotary Club of Patan, defined by strong fellowship, meaningful humanitarian action, active district engagement, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
A key highlight was the celebration of Rotary Internationalโs 121st Anniversary on 23 February. Our club proudly participated in the District 3292 celebrations, where Rtn. Kedar B.

The club conducted an awareness program against child marriage and human trafficking at Siddhi Mangal School (an RCP-supported PEEF school). We also co-hosted an Inter-College Speech Competition and extended support to an upcoming Rotaract blood donation program.
Another enriching moment was the presentation โDiplomatic Journey โ Part 1โ by Rtn. Kedar B. Shrestha, highlighting Nepalโs early international diplomatic engagements and experiences at the United Nations.
Fellowship remained strong throughout the month, with regular happy news contributions, celebrations of member milestones, and consistent attendance. We continued to maintain transparency and discipline through regular sunshine fund collections and operational contributions.

๐ World Polio Day 2025 โ A Story of Courage & Triumph ๐
On 27 October 2025, during our weekly meeting, the Rotary Club of Patan proudly commemorated World Polio Day โ 24 October by honoring the resilience of those who turned challenges into strength.
Our guest speaker, Mr. Bharat B.C., Project Manager at ADSoN, shared his extraordinary life journey โ from being affected by polio in childhood to becoming a national para-athlete, community leader, and inspiring advocate for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
Born in a remote village in Jajarkot, Karnali Province, Mr. B.C. refused to let polio define him. His story is one of determination, perseverance, and achievement:
โจ From struggling student to topping his class in Grade 5
๐ National topper in Grade 11 Nepali language
๐ฅ Gold medalist โ Wheelchair race, 2017 Para Sports Camp (Japan)
๐ผ Now serving as Project Manager at ADSoN

โDisability is not a weakness โ itโs only a lack of support and opportunity,โ shared Mr. B.C., inspiring everyone present.
During the session, Rtn. Gabriele Mallapaty updated members on Rotaryโs global End Polio Now progress โ with only Afghanistan and Pakistan still reporting a few cases.
Special thanks to Rtn. Maheswari Bisht Rawal, Rtn. Rabendra R. Pandey, and President Rtn. Khadak S. Bisht for organizing this impactful event and recognizing Mr. B.C. with a Token of Appreciation.
Together, we reaffirm our Rotary commitment to a world free from polio and full of opportunity for every individual. ๐
