On a mission

Surinder Sharma

Surinder Sharma, a resident of Deonar, is now being looked upon as a man on a mission. Sharma, who has been the Governor of the Lions Club (District 323 A2) in 2002-03, has set up the Lions Service Centre, a boys hostel at Ratandia (part of a rehabilitation project for Gujarat Earthquake victims), a girls hostel at Titwala and a multi-diagnostic and women welfare centre at Vashi.

Today, he is part of the project to renovate the Chembur crematorium, which has been a need of the hour. The crematorium is now being renovated and will be much better than what it was until now. “The first phase of the Charai Crematorium has already been completed and we have handed it over to the corporation,” he informs. Mohan Singh, a resident of Chembur, adds, “The work at the crematorium was something that everyone in Chembur wanted. This is a very good thing and the work done is commendable.”

Sharma has also set up a state of the art operation theatre for cataract surgeries at the Lions Medical Centre at Chembur.
Currently, he is the chairman of the Lions Service Fund District 323 A2, in and around Kopar Khairane.

Apart from handling his family owned textile unit and construction firm, this man is actively involved in the activities of the Chembur Gymkhana, for which he has served as the hon. general secretary for two terms, one between 1994-1996 and the other in 2004-2006.

When questioned regarding the gymkhana elections, he said, “I want to bring about a lot of changes in the gymkhana and am striving for it. If elected we shall work towards the betterment of the members. I have always worked for the benefit of the people and this time too I am committed towards working selflessly.”
