THE INTERVIEW
QUESTION(Prakhar): What was your experience with
the Rotoract club in all these years?
MR. ANURAG: At the time of the starting of this
club, we were no one. No one really knew us. But then after some time, people
recognized our work and started following us. Basically,it gave me the pleasure
to help everyone. The power of group work was clearly shown in this club. It
taught me that when we have to help someone, helping him/her in a group will
end in much better results than what might have been achieved if we had worked single-handedly
for it. Like if someone needs 100 rupees and I can only give him maximum 50
rupees individually. The matter can be more easily dealt with if there are 100
people and they can contribute 1 rupee each. This is the power of group work.
QUESTION: Are there any special experiences for
you in this club?
MR. ANURAG: When the club was founded, my sub
juniors worked very hard for this club. The immense amount of effort they put
in gave me inspiration and kept me motivated to do more and more work. In fact,
they worked so hard that I had to keep myself motivated to do better than them.
These were very satisfying moments. We then introduced more protocols and impressed
more people with our work. We just kept on doing new things, improvising
wherever necessary and saw the club growing.
QUESTION: How does Rotaract club help the needy
people?
MR. ANURAG: Rotoract is a very supporting club. It
can be considered to be a society. It provides transport facility to the
members, gives support to the needy .It distributes T-shirts to the poor and
the needy. Sometimes it also gathers sponsors to organize events. There are at
least 5-6 members in each group that goes on its task.
QUESTION: What would you like to say to the 1st
year students about joining ROTORACT?
MR. ANURAG: I would not like to force them to
join the club. But if you want to get satisfaction in life, join it. Don’t join
if you just want to have fun or are casual towards helping. We learn coding in
our institute. Here, there is creativity. I personally chose to join it because
I loved to be in kinds of things that helped me get some time away from the
technical stuff.
QUESTION: So you want to say that you joined
this group to gain peace in our mind?
MR. ANURAG: Not exactly. I just wanted to be
different. Not a techno-geek. But you can choose what you want to be. The club
would be in your hands when I am gone. You can take it farther.
REPORTER: Thank you so much sir for the valuable
time you have given to us. It was a great pleasure interviewing you.
