🌟 A Journey of Purpose and Possibility: Akshara Damle Reflects on Her Term as President

As Akshara Damle wraps up her term as President of her Rotary club, she reflects on a journey marked by purpose, collaboration, and heartfelt commitment. Leading a small club, Akshara saw not limitations, but opportunities — and with her team, she worked to turn challenges into meaningful impact.

A psychologist by profession, Akshara brought her passion for mental health to the forefront of the club’s agenda. Under her leadership, mental wellness became a central focus, strengthened by the support of the district mental health team led by Raghu Allam and guided by Ms. Karthika Devarajan.

Despite stepping in as a stopgap President and not having the typical pre-term onboarding, Akshara and her team forged strong collaborations and executed joint projects that left a mark. A particularly humbling moment came during a recent awards event, where fellow co-presidents shared, “We know you — even though we haven’t met!” — a testament to her reputation for commitment and authenticity.

While Akshara acknowledges there is always room to do more, she looks back with gratitude and hope, proud of each purposeful initiative undertaken.

As a new Rotary year begins, Akshara looks ahead with renewed energy, stronger connections, and a broader vision for service.

She extends heartfelt thanks to DG Satish Madhavan, DS Ashwini Masti, AG Pawan Seth, and ZG Dr. Krishna Kumar for their constant support, as well as to mentors Sunitha Raghav and Kalpana Srilalitha. She also expresses deep appreciation for fellow members Sudhir Sahuu, CA Naveen Hegde, Dr. Malini, Ekta Anant, Eesha Dinesh, Kannan, Chengappa Chottera, and everyone who made this term memorable.
