The Jullundur Gymkhana Club is all set to gofor polls on December 19 this year. The two groups namely, The Achievers andThe Progressive will be contesting elections. The members of the Achieversgroup in an exclusive conversation with TrueScoop talked about their previousachievements and future goals.
Tarun Sikka (contesting for HonorarySecretary), on being asked why people should vote and support the Achieversgroup, said, “In last two years, we worked for the club by keeping in mind thata member should feel proud and a guest should feel honoured when entering thisclub. And, somehow, we feel that we are lucky that God was so kind to us thatwe were able to fulfill all our achievements. During Covid times, wheneverything was shut, we still kept on working. My teammates were servingcontinuously for the betterment of the club. We started with RFID cards andmembers also accepted them well”.

“Our vision is still clear and we know whatthe future demands are; we will accomplish our goals. We will create abasketball court, skating ring and lawn tennis court with World-classamenities. We are also planning to build a new club lounge for the members ofthe club. People used to question our capabilities to run the club, now, thesame people applaud our achievements and call them exemplary!! I feel memberswill vote for us as they are smart enough to select the right group for theclub”, he added.
Saurabh Khullar who won elections last year,from the Progressive group for the post of Joint Secretary, has again nominatedhis name for the same post, but, this time from the Achievers Group. He saidthat the major reason for changing the group is he feels like family with theAchievers group.
On being questioned about what steps havebeen taken for the welfare of the members, SPS Virk (contesting Treasurer),replied, “We have waived off subscription fee for the members whose parents areabove 70 years old."
"They can come and enjoy the facilities without paying anymiscellaneous charges. We are trying to create a kids zone with modernequipment so that kids can enjoy themselves.”
So, Achievers’ past achievements speak for themselves. Their power to develop and deliver is likely to bring them in power again.
