Rajasthan Club Glorious Past
On "Vijay Dashmi" (Dushera Day) 1st. October 1968 Shri T. P. Jhunjhunwala , Shri Suresh Singhania, Shri Vinod Puri, Shri Mohanlal Gupta and Shri Badri Prasad Goyal, urged to create an organization which could provide pure/clean entertainment and a family atmosphere to people of the society. Where along with entertainment and enjoyment one could get spiritually, culturally and literally enriched. These ideas gave birth to an organisation which, was christened "RAJASTHAN CLUB", which started its office at "Haveli Haider Kuli", Chandni Chowk, in the walled city of Delhi. It was here that the charter of the club along with the logo was defined and designed with the efforts of Shri Suresh Singhania.
