Event: Discovering the City of Joy
IWC of Calcutta Midtown (D329, IW India)

A day away from the familiar can mean far more to a child than the distance travelled. It can mean excitement, laughter, new sights, and the simple happiness of being taken somewhere special.

For 25 children of the Happy School supported by IWC of Calcutta Midtown, World Tourism Day became just such a day. On 26 September 2026, the Club organised a city bus tour, taking the children on a journey through Kolkata and its historic landmarks. Led by Club President Vandana Sethi, the two-hour outing offered them the chance to see their city from a different perspective and, more importantly, to experience the pleasure of discovering it together.

What made the day memorable was not simply where the bus went, but what the journey meant to the children. There was excitement in every new sight, laughter along the way and the unmistakable thrill of being somewhere beyond the boundaries of their everyday lives. For a few hours, an ordinary bus became a vehicle for adventure.

The joy was written plainly on their faces. Their bright eyes, animated conversations, and sheer delight became the most rewarding part of the outing for the Club – seeing their happiness was perhaps the finest return it could have received.

There was learning too, almost incidentally. The city’s heritage and landmarks, often encountered only in books or from a distance, became places seen and experienced. But the greater gift was the freedom to look, wonder and simply enjoy being part of a shared adventure. It was an opportunity to give children something that cannot be measured in an itinerary: the happiness of a day made especially for them.

For one memorable day, the City of Joy became their very own city of joy.

Event: A Clean City – A Healthy Society
IWC of Jabalpur South (D326, IW India)

IWC of Jabalpur South conducted a cleanliness drive on a busy, high-traffic thoroughfare, spreading a message of hygiene and public awareness.

Emphasising civic responsibility and the community's duty toward its public spaces, the Club, in collaboration with the Municipal Corporation, organised a cleanliness campaign, transforming the public space into a tidy and inviting environment.

Blending creativity with social awareness, the team adorned the walls with beautiful paintings—featuring thought-provoking themes, such as water conservation, hygiene, and the importance of girls' education. The Inner Wheel branding was prominently displayed, highlighting its identity and its commitment to serving society.

To further support the initiative, the Club donated four large dustbins, along with brooms, cleaning tools, phenyl, and hand gloves, to assist sanitation workers in carrying out their duties more effectively.

This mega cleanliness campaign went beyond mere cleaning; it was a collective effort aimed at fostering awareness, encouraging civic responsibility, and promoting a cleaner, healthier community. The project perfectly embodied the Inner Wheel spirit of service, compassion, and purposeful action.

Event: Transforming a Government School in Badgaon (Ajmer) with a ₹4.5 Lakh Revamp
IWC of Ajmer (D305, IW India)

IWC of Ajmer turned an environment where students faced basic infrastructure challenges into a more welcoming, safe and child-friendly space for learning. With an investment of approximately ₹4.5 lakh, the Club undertook a comprehensive renovation of both school buildings, covering six classrooms, which were freshly painted inside and out.

Recognising the difficulties faced by students, particularly girls who lacked adequate sanitation facilities, the Club constructed a dedicated girls’ toilet block with complete plumbing and electrical fittings, installed a sanitary pad incinerator, and conducted awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene.

To improve classroom comfort, tables and benches were provided for 137 students, while old and unsafe electrical wiring was replaced to ensure greater safety. The initiative extended beyond classrooms, with the school’s damaged water tank restored, the grounds cleaned and improved for sports and outdoor activities, and colour-coded dustbins installed to promote waste segregation and cleanliness.

Supporting the overall development of students, the Club also provided sports uniforms to 10 girls, along with Sepak Takraw balls and a net, and guide uniforms to 15 girls to encourage outdoor participation, confidence and leadership. Accessibility was enhanced through the construction of an entrance ramp and repairs to the steps with new stonework.

Together, these efforts have given the school a renewed identity, creating a healthier, safer, and more encouraging environment where children can focus on learning, participate in activities, and look forward to a brighter future.
