Leos of District 3231-A2 have been a busy lot in the last few months. They have rolled up their sleeves for innovative projects spanning women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship training, health education, and school infrastructure improvements. Their hands-on approach and creative thinking shine through each initiative, tackling real community needs with enthusiasm.
Mulund Lakeside Leo Club organized the Saree Walkathon on March 9, 2025, to commemorate International Women’s Day. This impactful image-building initiative focused on raising awareness about women’s safety and empowerment. Over 250 women from Mulund, draped in vibrant sarees and carrying thought-provoking slogans, participated enthusiastically.
The walkathon was followed by empowering sessions—a self-defense demonstration by Leo Dhruv Parab and an eye-opening cyber safety talk by PSI Rupali Sakpal. The celebration concluded with a spirited prize distribution, recognizing participants in different categories including Best Costume, Best Concept, Best Group, and Best Super 60s.
This initiative highlighted the strength and solidarity of women while showcasing the Leos’ commitment to creating a safer, more inclusive society.
On March 8, 2025, Chembur Icon Leo Club celebrated Women’s Day with ‘TedxIcon Presents: Level Up,’ an inspiring event focused on ambition, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Led by Event Chairperson Leo Mukul Tomar, 18 dedicated Leos collaborated to create a memorable experience.
The highlight was an empowering keynote by entrepreneur Riya Shah, who shared her professional journey and offered insights to inspire young leaders. The innovative ‘Pitch Deck Activity’ followed, where Leos developed mock startups and pitched their business concepts to peer investors.
The event encouraged innovation, confidence and collaboration, perfectly aligning with the spirit of Women’s Day.
Vidyavihar Leo Club launched an impactful social media initiative titled ‘Porn vs. Reality: Are your expectations misleading you?’ as part of their awareness campaign “Sexed_leovidyavihar.” This bold and necessary educational effort aimed to break stigmas surrounding sexual education and menstrual health by fostering informed, open conversations.
The campaign addressed common misconceptions shaped by unrealistic media portrayals while emphasizing understanding of consent, healthy relationships, and body positivity. Additionally, the initiative highlighted menstrual health awareness, encouraging followers to share the campaign and support the cause.
Through this educational outreach, the club effectively upheld its motto—‘Building Bonds, Breaking Barriers’ — while educating and empowering youth.
On March 22, 2025, nineteen dedicated Leos came together for Project Kartavya at Mahatma Gandhi Hindi Medium School in Thane, to create a more nurturing learning environment for students through two critical interventions.
Recognizing the health risks posed by the school’s existing drinking water facility, the team installed a water purifier, ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water for all children. Additionally, the Leos transformed an unused space into a functional library to promote reading habits and support academic growth. The club continues to stock this library through an ongoing book donation drive. The total cost of this project was Rs.56,805.
Visionary Voice, a remarkable initiative by the District Secretarial Team is a creative series of summary booklets of key highlights of the district’s journey through the Leo Year 2024-25. The latest seventh edition of the same highlights the outstanding success of the Second Council Meeting. Demonstrating exemplary coordination and dedication, the district achieved a 100% Executive Council Report, alongside a 100% Club President Report – clearly reflecting Lions International’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective leadership. This milestone marks a collective effort to uphold excellence in reporting and paves the way for a more connected and goal-driven Leo movement.
