Interact Clubs are a service organisation for high school students between the ages of 12 and 18 who desire to volunteer their time and aid school and community. It provides an opportunity to young people to work together in a world fellowship dedicated to service and international understanding. They are sponsored by Rotary Clubs.

The forms for the Interact District Conference were given out by the AG Rtn Vikash. He encouraged all Interactors to register.
The New Gen Director Rtn CA Sumit Jindal then explained how being an Interactor would help them get Social Credit while applying for higher studies abroad.
Here the Faculty Counsellors of Vrindavan School, Ma’am Keren and Sir Debasis must also be congratulated for helping to organise a ceremonious and meaningful programme. The programme was adjourned after the vote of thanks delivered by Intr Prakriti Subba.
The first community service by the interact Club of Vrindavan School for the new Rotary year ‘24-‘25 was then inaugurated by the PE Rtn Sheila Rai Fudong and all the other dignitaries. It was an electrical incinerator for used sanitary napkins. This was a project which has been done for the very first time by an Interact Club of a school. Coming just after a few days after World Menstrual Hygiene Day, the project was even more meaningful.
