Empowering Leaders of Tomorrow: District Team Learning Seminar 2025–26 Creates Lasting Impact

The Rotaract District 3132 witnessed an inspiring beginning to the upcoming Rotary year with the successful execution of the District Team Learning Seminar 2025–26, hosted by the enthusiastic Rotaract Club of Tembhurni. Led by District Rotaract Representative Elect (DRRE) Ar. Ketaki Sanjay Kulkarni, the seminar brought together current and future leaders of the district for a powerful day of learning, reflection, and planning.

With the steadfast guidance of District Governor Rtn. Sudhir Lature, this year’s seminar broke the traditional mould by incorporating Breakout Sessions, a customised Learning Handbook, and participative formats to ensure that every officer was not just present, but truly involved. In his address, DG Lature emphasised the need for proactive engagement from every district officer, reminding all that leadership comes with the responsibility to invest time in one’s development.

“When we invest in our learning, we unlock the real potential of our positions,” shared DRRE Ketaki Kulkarni. “This seminar was designed to push boundaries, encourage new ideas, and most importantly, build unity among the district leadership.”

The event featured impactful sessions by:

• Rtn. Narendra Shelar, who inaugurated the seminar with powerful reflections on the value of mentorship and continuous learning

• PDRR Rtn. Shrikant Dad, who offered valuable perspectives on leadership dynamics and the evolving role of Rotaractors in today’s world
