  There were representatives from a lot of other Rotaract clubs across the city. We were given a chance to interact with them.  The seminar started with the basic know-how about the objectives, functioning, hierarchy and divisions of the Rotary as well as the Rotaract Clubs.  It was also aimed at educating us about the various avenues of the club, the activities being organized by the Rotary District 3150 and how we can be a part of them.  We were also told the various benefits that we gain by being a part of Rotaract , like professional development, leadership development and selfless service.  Being a part of the club, lets us avail various opportunities like participating in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards[ RYLA], becoming Group Study Exchange  team members, being a Rotary Youth Exchange Member etc.  The faculty members also shared their personal experiences and how Rotaract has helped them in being better individuals.  The program ended at 6.30pm with a vote of thanks by DRR Rajesh.

Recruitments 2012-2013


Rotaract Club of Hyderabad East (RHCE) had their recruitment for new members for 2012-2013 on the 29th of July, Sunday.

Venue:  Alpine Towers, opposite Marriott Courtyard, Hyderabad.

The recruitment were first and foremost a success. We had a turnout of 38 people from various colleges in the city, out of which 18 were recruited.

The selection process was done through two rounds. First round, a team stimulation where the group was given either one of the following topics:
·         Each member was asked to put forth his/her idea for a fund raiser and then later the team had to work together and discuss the best idea among the team and plan on the execution of the fund raiser with a limited budget.
·         Planning and working on the execution of a community service project with a limited budget.

The team stimulation round was followed by a Personal Interview (PI).

Two members judged one team stimulation. The judging criteria of the team stimulation were based on their confidence level, idea, team work, communication skills etc.
There were three panels for the PI round each containing two existing members of the club.

After the PI of the last person was completed, the members who took part in the judging and the PI round discussed about every candidate and finally shortlisted the 18 candidates whom everybody in the judging panel approved off. Needless to say it was a fair and unbiased selection process and at the same time stringent too.

All the members(22) who turned up for the recruitment worked very hard in making the recruitment run smoothly without any glitches and well it was a fun day for all of us.
