Incoming Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta has announced the 2021-22 presidential theme – Serve to Change Lives.

He has urged members to become more involved in service projects, saying that caring for and serving others is the best way to live because it changes not only other people’s lives, but also our own.

During his theme address to incoming district governors at the Rotary International Assembly on 1 February, he said that Rotary kindled a spark within him to look beyond himself and embrace humanity.

“Service became a way of life for me and I, like many others, adopted the guiding philosophy that ‘Service is the rent I pay for the space I occupy on this earth, and I want to be a good tenant of this earth.”
