The Rotary Club of Kolkata Benevolence is steadfast in its commitment to promoting and fostering sustainable practices in organic
farming and fish farming. We firmly believe that agriculture forms the bedrock of our society, and embracing sustainable and ethical
practices is paramount to ensuring its longevity.
Our support spans a myriad of projects across West Bengal, with a focus on organic farming, fish farming, reduction of chemical usage, and the preservation of traditional methods.
Recognizing the wealth of expertise both within and beyond our club, we have made the decision to compile and publish a
comprehensive book that shares invaluable knowledge in the realms of organic farming

environment.

The pioneering initiative known as Community Action for Fresh Water (CAFW) stands as Rotary’s flagship collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

environmental context.
Established in 2023, this strategic partnership underscores Rotary’s global commitment to environmental stewardship. CAFW builds upon the successes of Rotary members involved in the “Adopt a River for Sustainable Development” pilot program, integrating
valuable lessons learned while advancing efforts towards the preservation and
enhancement of freshwater ecosystems.
In alignment with this commitment, the Rotary Club of Kolkata Benevolence from District 3291 embraced the noble responsibility of adopting the Jaggatdal River in the Indian Sunderbans. This river, flowing into the Bay of Bengal, symbolizes a vital lifeline for the
region’s ecological balance. The adoption ceremony took place on February 10th, marking a significant step towards the collective goal of safeguarding our precious freshwater resources
