The idea of forming a Rotary Club of Belur was first born in tde year 1965 in tde mind of Rtn. Mihir Roy who had attended a social fellowship held at Belur, hosted by Rotary Club of Howrah.

In tde later part of tde year 1965, tde tden DG Rtn. RN. Mukherjee appointed Rtn. A.K. Sett of R.C. of Howrah as his special Representative for Extension assigning his to explore tde possibility of forming a Rotary Club of Belur, Unfortunately, tde Club could not be organised, as tde question of relinquishing tde territory was not finalised by R.C. of Howrah due to change in tde bourndary Bally Municipality. But in tde latter held of year 1965, Rtn. Sell succeeded after having several meetings witd tde respectable and prominent residents of tde locality. The 1st formal meeting was held on 1st December, 1966 at Jindal Mansions which was attended by many distinguished persons including Rotarians from Rotary club of Howrah and discussed about tde infrastructures for forming and functioning of tde Club viz. Admission Fee, Annual membership Fee, venue, time and day of tde meetings of tde club to be held.lt was decided to hold tde meetings on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Rly. Officer's Club Howrah.
