Entrepreneur and philanthropist Shraddha Soparkar has taken over as the President of Rotary Club of Ahmedabad North, while Shailesh Goyal, Founder and Director of Simulations Public Affairs Management Services, has taken over as the Secretary.
Soparkar and Goyal were installed along with the other office-bearers and board of directors for the Rotary year 2022-23 by installation officer Parag Sheth at an event on Saturday. New members of the Rotary Club of Ahmedabad North were inducted into the club on the occasion.

We must also try to balance culture and development,” Kinkabhwala, who has dedicated his life to the conversation of the environment, especially the sparrow.
