The Interact Club has been an integral part of Sishya since its inception in 1982. Under the mandate of the Adyar Rotary Club, the Interact club consistently works towards serving the community and uplifting those in need.
“Service Above Self” – a phrase that defines the Interact Club, perfectly encapsulates the mission the organisation is guided by. Each year, students of Class 11 take up leadership roles and organise a plethora of activities, ranging from bake sales to newspaper drives all with the aim of raising funds for those underprivileged or in suffering. The proceeds are then utilised to donate in kind, to various causes across the city.
The Interact Club is a programme which provides young adults a platform to give back to the community. It’s a place where students come together to step up, take initiative and lead meaningful projects that give back to the community. For the last 42 years, The Interact Club has been shaping responsible future citizens of our country.
