By the final session, the students who had struggled to engage initially were speaking about these subjects with clarity and confidence.
Earlier on 18th Oct 2025, the club, in collaboration with Alfa Care, had organized a Free Health Check-Up and Blood Donation Camp at Alfa Beta Complex, Baneshwor, attracting over 200 individuals with more than 25 donors.

Along with that, 50% discount on blood tests, 20% discount on radiology and cardiology services, and a special comprehensive package of Rs. 3500 at a subsidized rate of just Rs. 999 were offered to the attendees. A similar blood donation program was organized on 10th January, 2026 at City Center where 8 pints of blood were collected, showing compassion of individuals to help the ones in need.
On the education front, the club has secured approval for an international service project with the Rotary Club of Enhesisheim, district 1680, France, for the reconstruction of Shree Bhairab Adharbhoot Bidhyalaya in Khanikhola, Kavre. The project also aims to expand the student capacity to 100 by adding new classrooms. Dismantling work commenced on 26th March, with construction materials already

The Warm Hearts, Warm Paths initiative was carried out on 28th November, 2025 at Shree Janhit Secondary School where 162 students were provided with high-quality tracksuits. Each tracksuit carried the Rotary Logo which symbolized care, support, and commitment of the club to community service.

With a vision to build safer and more munity, a campaign to make Baneshwor “School-Friendly Zone” was launched, where the club plans to paint zebracrossing outside 7 schools in Baneshwor and install “School Ahead – Drive Slow” signage to promote safer driving behavior near school zones. This follows the Road Safety and Traffic Awareness Program which was conducted on 16th July, 2026 in joint collaboration of Rotaract Club of Baneshwor, Rotaract Club of Baneshwor Royal, Interact Club of Chelsea International Academy and youth arms, promoting responsible road behavior and civic awareness among students and community members.

In partnership with Battisputali Yuba Samaj, the club provided immediate relief worth NPR 1.5 lakh including food supplies, utensils, gas cylinders, tracksuits, and computer equipment to 154 policemen and staff positioned there.
On the environmental side, the club joined hands with Indreni Bhutkhel Community Forest in Tokha to carry out a tree and fruit nursery establishment program on 26th July, 2025. Rather than a conventional plantation drive, the club took a measured approach, donating 400 saplings to be nurtured in a managed nursery before being planted in the field, significantly improving survival rates. An additional 50 cypress trees were planted directly on the day.
Alongside its service projects, the club marked Rotary’s End Polio Mission with a Bhaktapur Heritage Walk Fellowship on 25th October 2025, bringing together 24 members and 5 children for a guided tour of Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The day blended fellowship with purpose, and was also used as an opportunity by TRF Char PP Arun Bansal to encourage contributions towards The Rotary Foundation.
