They emphasised the significance of working in a cooperative and collaborative environment to inspire everyone involved in this noble endeavour and promote mutual learning. India has over 8,500 clubs in all states and union territories, with 290,000 members. Lions have attained personal success and have chosen to give back to society through programs that promote community development and nation-building. International 1st Vice President Arvinder Pal Singh stated that Lions provide need-based services to communities. They also believe it is their responsibility to convey their gratitude to other individuals and groups who continue to assist public welfare and development by presenting these awards. The Lions Clubs International operates under the motto "We Serve," engaging in diverse humanitarian programs globally. Their focus areas include vision care, diabetes awareness, general healthcare and wellness, disaster relief, environmental protection, women and youth empowerment, education, and various other community-specific needs.
