- Club History : Late P.D.G. Rtn. Motibhai Doshi the than 77-78 D.G. of Dist 317 was very much confident about starting one additional Rotary Club in Kolhapur – the fast developing and prosperous city. Therefore our beloved P.D.G. Rtn. Motibhai Doshi appointed Rt. Dr. M.N.Joshi s G.S.R., Dr. Ashok Jagtap, Shaishkant Nerlekar, Dr. Keertikumar Argade and Subhash Bhurke took the initiative to start the Rotary Club of Kolhapur Central. They contacted 35 enthusiastic, service minded and dedicated members and then all were inducted in the Rotary Family. We have received the charter on 13th May 1978. Initially, even though there were 35 members, year by year membership developed gradually. Inspite of ups and downs in 30 years, the club awarded as best club/best president awards for 6 times and 2 times as best administered club. There have been 8-10 district officers from our club for all these years, who have also won district governors appreciation awards for their work. We are very glad to state that, this club has provided the best leadership to our district in the form of Rtn. Raju Doshi as district governor of dist 3170 in year 1999-2000 and our three members served as Asst. Governors in year 1998-99,2001-02 and 2004-05. Every year we are hosting various district events like Dist Assemblies, Intercity meets, Multi district meets, PETS-SETS, Workshops for polio eradication etc.We have registered Seth Ratilal Gosalia and Rotary Central Charitable trust through which we extend financial help for medical treatment an educational purpose. We had also established Rotary Central Education Society through which we are running Primary School and Vocational training center. Under matching grants, we are also carrying some community projects. We are proud to state that sofar our annual giving to TRF is 50523.96 US $.
