President Nandan Damani formally inducted Mr. Lakshmi Mittal, who is known as the “Steel King” of the world, as an Honorary member of the Rotary Club of Bombay at the last meeting.

The formality was conducted before a packed gathering at the meeting held at the Trident (Oberoi) Hotel on Thursday, January 21, at which Mr. Mittal was the guest speaker.

Nandan said that the Board of Directors of the Club had, at its meeting of January 18, unanimously decided to elect Mr. Mittal as an Honorary member.

He then proceeded to inform the new Honorary member in brief about the ideal of service which Rotary seeks to foster as the basis of worthy enterprise.

Affixing a Rotary pin on his lapel, Nandan requested Mr. Mittal to “wear it always and wear it with pride”. He also presented him with Rotary literature, a Club Roster and Four-Way Test placards.

The members present accorded a rousing welcome to the new Honorary member with a prolonged round of applause.
