The Rotary Club of Vijayawada Midtown (India), founded in 1985 with 33 members, has experienced remarkable growth, reaching over 750 members in 2018, thus becoming the largest Rotary club in the world.

The key to this success lies in the concept of a “club within a club”, which allows members to form small groups based on common interests such as sports, music, and business.

These sub-clubs offer spaces for socializing and service, fostering personal connections.

Various initiatives, such as the Midtown Cricket Club and the Midtown Music Club, strengthen member engagement while supporting causes like polio eradication.

This model has not only transformed member interactions, but has also increased contributions to the Rotary Foundation.

By fostering engagement, Vijayawada Midtown demonstrates how shared passions can strengthen the Rotary community.
