Rotary Club of Mumbai Mahim was established on 26th June 2002, with Rtn. Vishwas Kale from Rotary Club of Mumbai Sion entrusted with the responsibility of forming the new club. It is an association of like-minded professionals dedicated to serving the less fortunate, setting aside time, money, and resources to contribute positively to society. The club started with 18 members and has grown to 58. Unique in its approach, RCMM holds breakfast meetings on alternate Saturdays at AOTS Hall, Wadala.
Our club comprises passionate professionals, each committed to leveraging their expertise, time, and resources for the greater good. Through collaborative efforts and unwavering dedication, we strive to spearhead initiatives that address pressing societal needs and foster positive change. We meticulously ensure that our endeavours reach those who need them the most, ensuring that every contribution, whether it be time, talent, or financial resources, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
The club places special emphasis on youth development, offering opportunities to become responsible citizens and valuable contributors to society. In line with this philosophy, RCMM successfully established the Rotaract Club at Ramnarain Ruia College in 2012, the only Indian college with a ’College of Excellence’ status by the UGC.
