Dear Fellow Lions,

This issue puts the spotlight on an exceptional collaboration that celebrates the heart of what we do – service to humanity. The We Serve India Awards, jointly presented with Forbes India, recognizes individuals whose dedication mirrors our own commitment to community betterment.

What makes these awards meaningful is not just the recognition of achievement, but the creation of a nationwide network of change-makers. By honouring grassroots initiatives across health, education, environment, and women’s empowerment, we’ve established connections that multiply our collective impact.

The winners profiled in our cover feature demonstrate that change often begins with one person addressing a local challenge with creativity and persistence. Their stories remind us why Lions Clubs began over a century ago – because committed individuals working together can transform communities.

I invite you to draw inspiration from these remarkable stories and consider how your club might collaborate with similar initiatives in your region.
