NAVI MUMBAI: Lions Club of NRI has
proposed the candidature of Lion Savitha H. Nayak, MJF, for the position of
Vice District Governor-2 and accordingly Mrs Nayak has decided to contest in
the ensuing elections scheduled for 3rd April 2016.
Lion Savitha Nayak had joined Lionism in 1994 and
since then she was involved in many social activities and attended
international conferences and also district and national conventions and seminars,
besides attending to her family responsibilities very efficiently. She had
joined as Club Member and by 2015-16 she rose to the position of D.C. –
Cultural & Community Service and now she is contesting election for the
position of Vice District Governor-2.
Lion Savitha Nayak has held several responsibilities
in Lions District, spread across various functions, during her Lionistic career
spanning more than 22 years. She has been an eminent Social Worker in this part
of the District and has contributed in no small measure to the cultural and
social development of Navi Mumbai.
Additionally, the prestigious Mother Teresa Award was
also conferred on her, in recognition of her yeomen services to the poor and
the downtrodden of Navi Mumbai. Her family has been active in Lionism for many
years. Her husband Lion Haridas Nayak, a construction Engineer by profession,
has been a member of Lions Club of Vashi since 1997. Her daughter was a Leo for
5 years and was also the Leo President for the year 2003-04. Her son was also a
Leo from 2002-05. In effect, her family has a combined experience of almost 50
years in Lionism.
Lion Savitha Nayak is a full time, 24 x 7 Lion and
has devoted herself to the cause of Lionism. She eats, drinks, sleeps as well
as dreams of Lionism. It is clear that Lionism runs in the veins of Savitha
Nayak and her family.
Broadly, Lion Savitha Nayak’s plans for her District
are as follow: (1) Expand Leo Club base in our District. LEO stands for
Leadership, Experience and Opportunity. Leos are the future Lions and it is
imperative that the base of Leos need to be expanded geometrically. (2)
Motivate Lioness Members to become Lions. Her home club, Lions Club of NRI, has
may such members who are both Lions and Lionesses. (3) Tap various sources to
bring in quality members while retaining existing members. (4) Wants to
introduce proper transportation facilities for the Adivasi villages to come for
Mass Marriages and Cataract Eye Operations.
The District 323 A-2 is the only District in Mumbai
that has not elected a Lady District Governor so far. The other two Districts,
A-1 and A-3, have had their Lady District Governors in the past. Thus on 3rd
April, franchise will be exercised by members of the Lions Club and it will be
interesting to know whether Lion Savitha H Nayak will succeed in becoming the
first lady to be the Vice District Governor-2.
