Professional Development:

1. Installation
   Installation marks the formal transition of leadership within the Rotaract Club of Fr. CRCE. Held annually, the event honours the contributions of the outgoing council while officially inducting the new team. Attended by faculty, department heads, and dignitaries from the Rotaract and Rotary fraternity, the ceremony reflects the values of service, responsibility, and continuity.

Community Service:

1. Heart & Soul Run 7

The Heart & Sole Run is the flagship charity marathon of the Rotaract Club of Fr. CRCE, dedicated to combining fitness with philanthropy in service of a greater cause. Now in its seventh edition, the event has grown significantly over the years, drawing over 1200 + participants from diverse backgrounds including students, professionals, and local residents. Each edition is driven by a social mission, with recent runs supporting Father Agnel Ashram, which provides education, shelter, and holistic care to underprivileged children. Through this initiative, Rotaract CRCE aims to raise both awareness and funds to support long-term community welfare. More than just a race, the Heart & Sole Run exemplifies the club’s commitment to social responsibility, community engagement, and sustainable impact.

2. Drug Awareness Seminar

The Rotaract Club of Fr. CRCE, in collaboration with the Bandra Police Station, conducted a Drug Awareness Seminar to educate students on the dangers of substance abuse and its long-term impact. The session promoted informed choices and emphasized the importance of awareness and responsibility.

3. Beach Clean-up

When students trade books for biodegradable bags and head to the sands of Mumbai, you know something impactful is happening. The Beach Clean-Up is Rotaract CRCE’s effort to contribute directly to the environment "one plastic bottle at a time". Students visit beaches across the city, working together to clear litter, raise awareness, and be part of something bigger than themselves. A tradition started recently, and it’s now become a yearly reminder that action speaks louder than posts.

4. Joy Of Giving

Not all impactful events are loud; some are quiet, warm, and deeply moving. Joy of Giving is one such initiative where Rotaract CRCE members visit the Father Agnel Ashram and spend time with the children through games, stories, and shared laughter. It’s a simple gesture that leaves a lasting impression on the kids and on us. Because sometimes, the best way to grow is by giving a piece of your heart.

5. Behind the Batch

The Rotaract Club of Fr. CRCE organized Behind the Batch, a visit to the Bandra Police Station aimed at understanding police operations, strategies, and equipment. The session offered students valuable insights into the role and challenges of the police force, promoting awareness and community connection.

Club Service:

1. FootSlog:

Footslog is Rotaract CRCE’s annual college trek, a refreshing escape from routine and a chance to connect beyond classrooms. From the rocky climbs of Kothaligad to the misty paths of Visapur Fort, students come together to explore Maharashtra’s scenic trails while building camaraderie that lasts long after the trek ends. It’s where conversations come more easily, the pace slows down, and everything comes alive, step by step.
