A Man Who Lived and Breathed Service to Humanity
Tripathi ji was more than just a Rotarian – he was a beacon of hope, a pillar of values, and a guiding force for countless initiatives aimed at uplifting the underprivileged. As Club Director (Non-Health), he worked with unmatched sincerity, always placing community welfare above personal interest. Whether through Seva Bharti, Bharat Vikas Parishad, or Vanvasi Kalyan Kendra, he touched lives silently and selflessly.
A Donor Who Gave His Soul Before His Wealth
As a Major Donor, Tripathi ji didn’t just offer financial support — he poured his heart and soul into every Rotary project. His presence was an inspiration, his words were filled with wisdom, and his actions reflected the true essence of Rotary’s motto — Service Above Self. His contributions will continue to breathe life into countless projects and lives for years to come.
Tears, Memories, and Silence at the Club Auditorium
On May 4, a solemn condolence meeting was held at the Paul Harris Auditorium. Emotions ran high as fellow Rotarians, social dignitaries, and community leaders gathered to remember a man who gave so much and asked for nothing in return. Two minutes of silence were observed in his memory — but the silence spoke volumes about the pain and void his departure has left behind.
One-Day School Closure as a Tribute
As a mark of deep respect, the Rotary-run school declared a one-day holiday. Students, teachers, and RCC members came together in prayer, their hearts heavy, their eyes moist — all mourning a man who was like a guiding light to them. Tributes poured in, all echoing a single sentiment: “we have lost a father figure, a mentor, a true karmayogi.”
Tripathi Ji Was the Heart of Our Club –
Club President Rotarian Mahesh Kumar Gupta said, “Tripathi ji wasn’t just a leader; he was the soul of our club. His life was a lesson in simplicity, humility, and sacrifice. In his memory, we pledge to walk the path he showed us — the path of compassion, dedication, and tireless service.”
