*Interesting Points :*****

1. Nitish Laharry lived in Calcutta and was a member of Rotary Club of
Calcutta. Birth place of Rajendra K Saboo and Kalyan Banerjee is also
Calcutta. All three had a connection with Calcutta (now Kolkatta)**

2. A lot is being talked about getting younger members in Rotary. All three
of them became members in the age group of 27-34. Infact Kalyan Banerjee and
Rajendra Saboo were one of the youngest governors of their times at the age
of 38 and 42 years respectively.
