As Secretary of the Rotary Club of Udaipur Meera, Kavita finds joy and fulfillment in her contributions to this esteemed social organization. Over the years, she has formed valuable friendships while engaging in meaningful social work, channeling her passion for helping others through the Rotary Club's initiatives.

Kavita Srivastava currently serves as the Secretary of the Rotary Club of Udaipur Meera.

This distinguished social organization is not just a club for Kavita; it is a source of immense pride, offering her a platform to contribute meaningfully, learn continuously, and forge valuable friendships.

Eleven years ago, Kavita's life took a turn when she moved to Udaipur. While her husband was busy with work and her children were studying elsewhere, she found herself feeling lonely. She says that she would read about social issues and philanthropy in the newspaper, yearning to get involved in them. It was then that she discovered the Rotary Club, initially perceiving it as just a social group. However, she soon realized the profound impact of Rotary’s work on a global scale.

The Rotary Club of Udaipur Meera has become an enriching space for Kavita. It fosters valuable friendships and provides a platform for her passion for social work. Kavita says that she has been an active and dedicated member of the Rotary Club Meera for the past five years.

Reflecting on her childhood, Kavita says that her roots trace back to Uttar Pradesh. Her father's work at the State Bank of India necessitated frequent relocations, which unfortunately disrupted her education despite her father’s desire to provide quality education to her. Due to her father’s frequent transfers, she decided to live in a hostel during her crucial 9th and 10th grades.

Kavita shares that she aspired to become a doctor. However, during her 10th grade, an unfortunate acid accident forced her to take a two-year hiatus from her studies, ultimately hindering her pursuit of a medical career.

Despite this setback, Kavita's determination remained unwavering. She persevered academically, eventually obtaining a Master of Arts (MA) degree from the prestigious Banaras Hindu University (BHU).

Kavita says that her childhood memories are filled with warmth from growing up in a close-knit joint family with two sisters. She adds that she never felt the need for additional friends, as her two sisters were enough for her.

Kavita attributes her strength and inspiration to her mother, who serves as her role model. She draws immense support and guidance from her mother.

A song that deeply resonates with Kavita is "Humko Man Ki Shakti Dena... Dusro Ki Jai Se Pehle Khud Ki Jai Kare''. These powerful lyrics encapsulate her belief in self-empowerment as a prerequisite to helping others.

Kavita firmly believes today's generation is well-informed and has access to a wealth of knowledge through the internet and social media. She encourages young people not to hesitate about sharing their knowledge and resources with others.

Acknowledging the various opportunities available for social work, Kavita emphasizes the importance of evaluating the authenticity of the communities in need. She advises aspiring volunteers to visit and assess the situation firsthand, ensuring that their efforts are directed towards genuinely assisting those in need and avoiding potential scams.

As the Secretary of Rotary Meera this year, Kavita expresses her immense happiness and satisfaction.  Working alongside the Rotary Club of Udaipur Meera President is proving to be an invaluable learning experience, equipping her with new insights and knowledge. This enriching experience fuels her desire to contribute even more to social work.

Kavita says that the Rotary Club offers more than just social initiatives. They also organize fun and engaging activities for their members, including entertainment events, outings, and games. This fosters a sense of community and camaraderie amongst the members.

She firmly believes that those who are genuinely interested in making a positive difference in society should consider joining a Rotary Club. It's a chance to connect, contribute, and create lasting change.
