Aditi is known across Bangalore for its proactive Interact Club, founded and supported by the Rotary Club of Bangalore. A tradition at Aditi is Out of the Box, a well-known inter school competition run by the school's Interact Club, which attracts contestants from more than 20 schools. It was started in 2002 and has grown every year. The Interact Club also organizes an annual Retreat, in which club members attend an array of personal development workshops conducted by experienced professionals in the field. Past events conducted by the Interact Club include fund raising Music Concert, which aimed at bringing together musical talent in schools and colleges around Bangalore in the hope of supporting the education of underprivileged children, and Fast Forward, a 2 day fund raising carnival that aimed towards bringing about an awareness regarding the current environmental situation.
The Interact Club also conducts bake sales and personal development workshops throughout the year, and participates in other community-driven activities such as the annual Terry Fox Run and the collection of money for the National Association for the Blind.

Famous quotes containing the words interact and/or club:
“Art and ideology often interact on each other; but the plain fact is that both spring from a common source. Both draw on human experience to explain mankind to itself; both attempt, in very different ways, to assemble coherence from seemingly unrelated phenomena; both stand guard for us against chaos.”
—Kenneth Tynan (1927–1980)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
