Six Rotary clubs — RCs Coimbatore Town, Downtown, Uptown, Texcity, Centennial and Thondamuthur, RID 3201 — collaborated with the Tamil Nadu Agriculture University to organise a three-day Covai Flower Show at the 23-acre Botanical Gardens in Coimbatore. It was inaugurated by Agriculture minister M R K Panneerselvam and minister for Urban Development S Muthuswamy. Over 4 lakh people visited the show, said project chairman C Nagaraj. The district’s impactful service projects were prominently displayed on giant LED screens across the garden. The district is planning to organise a similar show in January 2025, said event secretary A Godwin. DG T R Vijayakumar presented the Rotary Vocational Excellence Award to the university vice chancellor V Geethalakshmi.
PDGs A V Pathy and Kuriachan and Rotarians from 650 clubs across the city supported the flower show which was “an impactful public image exercise,” he said.
