  By Rtr. Saarah Hamdoon

The Rotaract Club of CCS was initiated in the year 2012 under the presidency of Rtr. Gautham Kumar. Over this period of five years, the club has seen immense growth and has flourished with every passing year.

The new board of directors for the year 2017/18, lead by president Rtr. Dilendra Wijesekara, commenced their year with their opening project “Rotaract Zest” on the 3rd of July 2017.
Co-chaired by Rtr. Nethma Wethalawe and Rtr. Haneen Packeerally, the aim of Rotaract Zest was to introduce the first-year students of the college to the Rotaract Club and to recruit new members.
