ESSAY COMPETITION

Rotary Global Essay Competition (ROGEC) is a platform to express your thoughts and ideas on a Global Canvas on range of s subjects which we believe ultimately fulfil Rotary's objectives and make this world a better place to live.

ROGEC invites views and analysis from diverse and distinct cultures, fusing them together in a neatly woven bouquet. The issues like hunger, diseases, inequality, education, conflicts, etc are common across cultures and countries, the magnitudes and perspectives however are different. ROGEC aims to provide every individual in the Rotary fraternity a global platform to convey a story about the issues, reasons and resolutions.
