Rotary club of Sonarpur initiated its journey in 1986 with a view to join the Rotary family as a useful and worthy one. District Governor A K Dutta organized and developed the club under his dynamic leadership in 1985 – 1986.

Initially the Rotarians observed it wise to provide their service to the ailing communities of the underprivileged Sundarban area. Sonarpur is situated in the borderline of Sundarban region with an enormous set backs like poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, poor sanitation, and much more like these. Apart from this the territory very often gets affected by the flood.

It was enough reasons for the Rotarian to spot this territory as the way to render their service as the most people here lived below the poverty line. This club feels proud to be the assets of this neglected territory.
