5 January 2026 unfolded like a warm, lifeaffirming hymn to the planet—164 brimming, wide-eyed participants gathering for RYLA – Soil and Me, a programme that didn’t just teach us something… it softly hook us awake: our first and truest mother has always been Mother Earth. With grace and purpose, RCM’s President Nikhil Raj, alongside Youth Service Director, Rtn Suman Voora and RYLA Chairman, Rtn Himanshu Bhudia, flagged off the RYLA from Hyatt, setting the morning in motion like the opening beat of something deeply meaningful. T h e n c a m e t h e p o w e r f u l , g r o u n d i n g inauguration by RI District 3234 RYLA Chairman Rtn Murali Rao, whose inaugural address anchored the day with clarity, conviction, and heart.
