Saga of a philanthropist, global leader – Dr Naresh Aggarwal

What made you a Lion?

At the age of 21, I was excited to start my life. I was about to join my family business and get married.

This made me realise that the key to success is service. As a businessman, I serve my employee and customers. Meanwhile, as a husband, I serve my family. Meanwhile, I began to aspire to a greater level of service –to serve the entire world.

However, to achieve this, I would need mentors and a structured organisation. This is when I realise the power of the Lions Clubs.

The club has successfully completed 100 years of service. Please explain the importance of the Centennial year.

We have converted millions of leaders in society into Lions. We have led a global cultural revolution towards harmony and humanity. In the last 2 years, we have served at least 97 million people.

At our International Convention next year in Chicago, I will take over as the International President. We will launch a new platform of unified service aimed at serving over 200 million people each year.

However, we can still see many needs in the world. And as long as there are needs, there will be Lions.

You have been elected as the International Vice President of Lions Clubs International. Can you give us some information about your new position?
