EDITORS NOTE
Warm Rotaract Greetings,
It is the moment of joy for me serving as Editor of the Directory. Though Rotaract is new
for me but I learned a lot from it and my home club Rotaract Club of St. Xaviers College
Ranchi.
The past one month has been really buzzing around with a lot of interest on the
Directory, especially when you have a leader who need everything perfect and markable.
Hopefully we have been able to keep up the standard that have been set over the years.
The Directory is one of the main communication tools and when I was handed the
responsibility of Editor (Directory), My first focus was to ensure that the Directory reaches
everyone on time. What initially started as a plan to come up with a directory loaded with
information and basic guidelines that a Rotaractor must be well informed about.
I would like to thank the faith of District Rotaract Representative, Rtr. Diptesh Nawal had in
me to play a role in bringing this directory and contribution of beloved District Rotaract
Secretary Rtr Anmol Singhal who took all the pain to collect data of upcoming leaders of
District. Thanks to constant support and support of these two persona, the team always had
the energy to keep going on and on irrespective of the time, without losing focus.
Thanks to all the sponsors and well-wishers who have whole heartedly supported this
directly, without whom we could have never even imagined that we will be able to deliver a
classy directory.
Hope you all enjoy the contents of this directory and we would love to hear your feedback
on improvements and your suggestions on [email protected].
On behalf of District
Thank you all!
Rtr Aditya Kumar
Editor (Directory)

4. RI PRESIDENT
Dear Rotaractors:
It is my pleasure to send greetings to you as you begin this 2016-17
Rotary year. I hope that this directory connects you with partners in
service your fellow Rotaractors and Rotarians within District 3250.
The Greek philosopher Demosthenes once wrote that great enterprises begin with small
opportunities. But you know what? I dont think its true. Great enterprises dont begin
with small opportunities. They begin with great opportunities. Its just that great
opportunities sometimes have a way of looking small.
And through Rotaract you have been given a great opportunity. What you do with that
opportunity thats up to you. Sometimes those opportunities might look small. You might
think that what you do doesnt matter. But theyre not small. Everything you do matters,
especially to the people you help and the people you love, in this generation and the next.
And the decisions you make wont begin or end with you. The effects of our work, our
decisions, will ripple out all over the world to the people whose lives we will change.
Were all in this together. Were all on the same TEAM. Because in Rotary, we lead just
like we serve: Together Everyone Accomplishes More. And I welcome you as an important
part of our All Star Team. But we need more willing hands, caring hearts, and inquisitive
minds to join our team. People like you, who believe in honesty, diversity, tolerance,
friendship, and peace. Leaders who understand that diversity is strength, high ethical
standards dont ever go out of style, and who believe, as Paul Harris believed, that serving
humanity is the most worthwhile thing any one of us can do with our lives. So, invite
someone else to discover their own great opportunity to change the world for the better,
forever through Rotarys service to humanity.
Thank you for what you have done; thank you for what you are doing; and thank you for
what you are going to do to improve your community and change lives. Thank you for
seizing your great opportunity to join Rotary Serving Humanity.
Sincerely,
John F. Germ

5. DISTRICT GOVERNORS MESSAGE
Dear Leaders,
Congratulations!
I am immensely pleased to note that Rtr. Diptesh Nawal will
be installed as District Rotaract Representative on 23rd
July at Ranchi at an Installation
Function and District Rotaract Assembly. Rotary fraternity attaches enormous importance to
involvement of youth in various activities. It is largely because of their high energy level and
out of the box creativity thinking. This attribute is the need of the hour considering community
service related activities of Rotary. There is a leadership skill present in every youth which
needs to be kindled for effective output as a leader. Such assemblies which concentrates on
training young minds in leadership and team building will bring out the best in them. I am
quite confident that the new team of office bearers under your stewardship will carry the
Rotaract movement to a different level. Spouse Dr. Vijaya Bharat joins me to wish the
Rotaractors all the very best in the year ahead. Our best wishes to the forthcoming District
assembly.
Have a great Year!!

8. DRRs MESSAGE
Dear Rotractors,
Warm Rotaract greetings,
It gives me immense pleasure to write my message for District
Directory 2016-17. It makes me emotional recalling the day I joined rotaract a few years back as
a member of Rotaract Club of Ranchi ICWAI. And now I am writing the message for this District
Directory as a DRR. Undoubtedly it became possible only with the help and support of senior
Rotaractors and leaders of our District. Past years has been very challenging as well as it gave
me many lessons which can be helpful for me throughout my life. Learning with Rotaract was
always best part in my life. I also thank my past district leaders for giving me the responsibility to
run a Rotaract District Council which is now a well-balanced team by the efforts of my past
leaders.
There are still many challenges for me to look after. We have to increase the number of clubs as
well as number of members in our clubs. As compared to the geography, our District is so big that
it always keeps me encouraging for a higher no. of clubs as well as a large no of Rotaract
members dedicated to work for society. Thats becoming possible with the guiding support of our
DG Rtn Dr. R. Bharat. His efforts on these issues are just an inspiration for me. I also like to
thank my future leader Rtr Vaibhav Thakur for standing with me always whenever needed.
Yours in Rotaract

I am extremely thankful to the whole Rotary and Rotaract family for giving me the
opportunity to serve as the DRR for the Golden Year 2017-18 of RID 3250. I am proud to be
a part of Rotaract District 3250 and with the chance given I assure to take our District and
all the members to a new height.
Since the day I received this post, I pledged to set the highest of ethical standard. Rotaract
being an organisation for people and for the betterment of society has always served at its
best and has set many standard levels for us to reach and we as a whole District will give
our best and would try to take work of our seniors to a new height.
At last I would like to remind to all that we are a family and as a family we should always
stand together in every situation. A family's strength lies in its unity so I will always need
each and every one of you by my side so together we can be the strongest and fulfill our
goals with the best results possibly.

Dear DRR Rtr Diptesh and team
It is pleasure to write you and express my best wishes and heartily goodwill for your
election as the DRR (2016-17) and I have a strong feeling that with your hard work and the
kind of enthusiasm I have seen in your and your teammates, this year should be year of
rebirth of Rotaract in the district. The Rotaract past had been glorious and future looks to
be more bright and full of hopes and new vision.
The theme Together Towards Tomorrow just right, we have experienced and self-
motivated Rotaractors in past and they have done commendable job and with their
inspiration and guidance the Rotaract can surely look forward to Together Towards
Tomorrow for the humanity.
The focus is youth and its an opportunity to explore and bring out the youth in you and
give it more meaningful direction. There are so many dimensions of looking at Rotaract; it
can be your Passion for service, leadership development, self-motivation, professional and
career development, community service and above all a healthy and meaningful fellowship.
A leader is a leader when he is able to lead his team and also can inspire and motivate to
make hundreds more leaders.
So its time to work together and fill the gaps and bring in more diversified opportunity in
Rotaract Body in the District, so that clubs can develop and be guided by the district body
and at least one event should be taken by each clubs at the local community level So as to
make the Rotaract more visible and promote healthy membership growth.
Conveying my best wishes and full support for your year ahead and god bless.

ABOUT ROTARACT Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men
and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either
community or university based, and theyre sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true
partners in service and key members of the family of Rotary.
As one of Rotarys most significant and fastest-growing service programs, with more than 9,500 clubs
in about 170 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
WHAT IS A ROTARACT CLUB?
Rotaract, an acronym for Rotary in action, is the youth wing of Rotary International spreading the joy
of Rotary amongst youngsters between 18 and 30 years of age. Rotaract is a part of the global effort to
bring peace and International understanding to the world. This effort starts at the community level but
knows no limits in its outreach. There are 9,539 Rotaract clubs, divided into various districts for the
purpose of easy governance, spread across 178 countries with 219,397 Rotaractors all over the world.
WHY TO ORGANIZE A ROTARACT CLUB?
Todays young people will become tomorrows parents, professionals, business leaders, and
community leaders. With the help of programs like Rotaract, they can gain the tools and skills
necessary to develop into responsible, productive members of society. Now is the time for Rotary
clubs to focus on the future by challenging the new generations to test their talents, develop new skills,
and confront issues they will face in their lifetime. The Rotaract program can instill in its members life
skills that can be shared with others for generations to come.
FUNCTIONS OF A ROTARACT CLUB
The Rotaract club organizes a variety of project and activities, depending primarily on the interest of
the club members. However, within the Rotaract program, all clubs undertake three kinds of activities
in varying degrees; professional development, leadership development, and service projects. Together
these three areas ensure a balanced club program and provide important experience and opportunities
for the personal development of each Rotaractor.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A clubs professional development activities should expand the members: understanding of the work
environment and business opportunities within their community. These activities should highlight the
Rotaractors role in the communitys economic development and illustrate how the skills developed
through service activities can help in resolving problems in the place of work. Each Rotaract club
should provide professional development opportunities to its members through activities such as:
Professional and vocational forums.
Business technology updates.
Management and marketing seminars.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

projects. Important topics to address in training club leaders include:
Improving public speaking skills.
Developing techniques for marketing the Rotaract program to potential members.
Building consensus among members.
Delegating project responsibilities and ensuring necessary follow-up.
Identifying channels for project publicity and promotion.
Finding financial resources for strengthening club development.
Assessing project success.
SERVICE PROJECTS
Service above Self is Rotarys foremost guiding principle. A Rotaract clubs service projects are
designed to improve the quality of life at home and abroad. These projects often address todays most
critical issues, such as violence, drug abuse, AIDS, hunger, the environment, and illiteracy. Each
Rotaract club is required to complete at least two major service projects annually, one serving the
community and other to promote international understanding. Each should involve all or most of the
members of the club.
HISTORY OF ROTARACT Rotaract, Rotary Internationals, service club program for young adults 18-30, was officially
inaugurated during January 1968 under-Rotary International President Luther Hodges. On 13th
March
1968, the Rotaract Club of the University of North Carolina, sponsored by the Rotary Club of North
Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, was the first Rotaract club to receive its official charter. Although this
club is recognized as the first Rotaract club, Rotarians have been sponsoring similar organizations for
young adults since the early 1920s. The earliest known predecessors to Rotaract, Twenty Thirty clubs,
were first sponsored by the Rotary clubs, and membership was open to young professionals and
university students. The first meeting of a Twenty-Thirty club was held on 19 December 1922. At one
point, the movement claimed as many as 125 clubs under the sponsorship of California Rotary clubs
and published a monthly magazine.
In 1927, Round Table clubs were founded in Great Britain and Ireland. Membership in Round Table
clubs was open to young men aged between 18 and 40 and by 1935, there are more than 90 Round
Table clubs existed. In November 1930, the first Apex club was formed in Geelong, Australia. Apex
clubs grew rapidly, expanding to more than 20 clubs in just a few years. These clubs were sponsored
by Rotary clubs, and were open to professionals and students between the ages of 18 and 35. Similar
Rotary club-sponsored groups continued to spring up simultaneously and independently around the
globe. Uniserve clubs in India, Orbis clubs in South America, Rotors clubs in South Africa, Paul
Harris circles in Europe, and Quadrant clubs in the United States are some of the best-known
examples. Eventually, these clubs would provide the base for the future growth of Rotaract as the clubs
adopted new names under the Rotaract program. Perhaps the greatest impetus for the creation of the
Rotaract program came from Rotarys youth service club for secondary school students, Interact clubs.
Established in 1962, the Interact program enjoyed immediate success. However, since membership
was only open to students in secondary schools, graduated Interactors and Rotarians were soon looking
for ways to extend their relationship. Several proposals were brought before the Rotary International
Board of Directors to allow membership in Interact clubs to extend for a few years after graduation.

DRR RTR. DIPTESH NAWAL, RID 3250 16-17
District Rotaract Council 16-17 Page 24
Instead of extending the age requirements for Interact, the Board decided to study the feasibility of
creating a new service program for young adults at the university and young professional level.
The decision to adopt the Rotaract program came at a time when students protest worldwide was
growing concern to Rotarians. The Rotaract program was adopted not only as means of keeping former
Interactors within the Rotary Family, but as means of channeling the energies of young adults into
positive activities that could benefit to their communities.
A special committee was convened to design the new service club program for young adults during
1966. After polling students at the University of Houston, Texas, USA, the committee decided that
Rotaract would be the best name for the program-a combination of the words Rotary and action.
Coincidentally, the service club at the University of North Carolina had already adopted the name in
1966, but they coined it as a combination of the names Rotary and Interact. The committee also
decided that young women should be allowed to join on equal standing with male members at the
discretion of the sponsoring Rotary club.
Within a day of the certification of the Rotaract Club of the University of North Carolina, the Rotaract
Club of the University of La Salle was chartered in Tacubaya, Mexico. The Rotaract clubs of Florence,
Italy, Gaston College, North Carolina, and Secunderabad, India, were all certified in the following
weeks. The young adults that had already existed in many regions fueled the rapid growth of Rotaract
for the first few years.
By 1981, Rotaract was so popular that Rotaractors in South Africa decided to host the first
INTEROTA conference, an international meeting for all Rotaractors. Subsequent conferences have
been held every three years. To date, INTEROTA conferences have been hosted by Rotaractors in
South Africa, Australia, England, Turkey, Mexico, and Brazil. The next conference is set for Sydney,
Australia, in 2014. International meetings for Rotaractors are also held every year at the Rotaract
Preconvention Meeting that preceded Rotarys annual convention. The first such meeting was held in
Seoul, Korea, in 1989, with more than 450 Rotaractors in attendance.
Several developments in the early 1990s helped strengthen the Rotaract movement. In February 1991,
the first Rotaract club in Eastern Europe was chartered in Budapest, Hungary, with the help of
Austrian Rotaractors, Ties with Eastern Europe were further strengthened when the same Austrian
Rotaractors helped charter the Rotaract club of Prague in what was then Czechoslovakia later in 1991.
In March 1992, the Rotary International Board established World Rotaract Week which is celebrated
annually during the week of 13 March to commemorate the chartering of the first Rotaract club.
During World Rotaract Week, Rotaractors attend meetings with sponsoring Rotary clubs, undertake
joint service projects, and speak with clubs that do not sponsor Rotaract clubs about the benefits of the
program. Since 1968, Rotaractors have continually shown that they can be innovative and positive
force for change in their communities. Service activities commonly undertaken include projects to
improve the environment, visits with the elderly or disabled, blood or organ donation campaigns, and
aid to developing countries. One example of the ingenuity employed by Rotaractors is a project
undertaken by the Rotaract clubs of Heemstede and Hilegom-Lissee, the Netherlands, in 1987. In order
to raise funds for Polio-Plus, Rotaractors from the two clubs designed an amphibious cycle that would
cross the English Channel under the power of 36 Rotaractors. The campaign raised US $210,000 for
Polio-Plus and earned the Rotaractors a place in Guinness Book of World Record for their speedy
crossing.

ROTARACT PROGRAMS
Rotaract clubs organize a variety of projects and activities in varying degrees, depending primarily on
the interests of the club members. To convene these projects successfully they conduct meetings. Within
Rotaract programs, all programs they do can be classified into four avenues of service. They are:
1. CLUB SERVICE: Projects done to maximize friendship/interaction within the club members and
with other clubs in the district.
2. COMMUNITY SERVICE: Projects done to benefit the local community or an individual in the
community.
3. PROFESSIONAL/VOCATIONAL SERVICE: Projects done with an idea to enhance the personal
skills and leadership qualities of the Rotaractors in a club.
4. INTERNATIONAL SERVICE: Projects done in partnership with other voluntary organizations
and Rotaract clubs outside our district.
Whatever project/activities you may think off can be grouped under these four avenues. Through these
four avenues of projects the Rotaractors ensure a balanced club program and provide valuable
experience and opportunities for the personal development of each Rotaractor and also the development
of a community. It is a feeling to experience. Todays young people will become tomorrows parents,
professionals, business leaders, and community leaders. With the help of the Rotaract program, they can
gain tools and skills necessary to develop into responsible members of society. If you are between the
age group 18-30 and not in Rotaract, you are missing something. If you between18-30 and in Rotaract,
Congratulations for taking steps towards greatness.
THE FOUR WAY TEST
Before performing the projects the Rotaractors ensure the authenticity of the project by applying the
Rotarys famous Four Way Test. From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned
with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the worlds most widely
printed and quoted statements of business ethics is the Four-Way Test, was created in 1932 by Rtn.
Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as Rotary International President) when he was asked to take
charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24 word test for employees to follow in their
business and professional lives become the guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations
with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy
adopted by Rotary in 1943. The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred
languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Significance: Ethical standards in business have been a concern of Rotary since its founding in 1905.
Four-Way Test is a tool given to Rotarians to achieve high ethical standards.

IDEAS FOR FUND RAISING
Fund need not be a problem for a club if members introduce innovative methods of raising finance. A
Rotaract Club cannot solicit financial assistance from individuals, business or organisations in the
community without giving something of value in return. It is easier to rise when you give more of value in
return to the particular individual, business or organisation.
Usual Methods of Fund Raising
Raffle Tickets and Lucky Dip Tickets
Fancy Fete & Fun Fair
Musical Shows and Cultural Programs
Advertisements in the Club Bulletin/Souvenir
Innovative Methods of Fund Raising
Walk for a Cause: A walk for a cause endorsed by a popular athlete may be organized. Volunteers
along the walk collect funds for the particular cause.
Stickers: Getting Stickers done as specified by the Motor Vehicle Act and sticking them on the
vehicles head lamp and charging a small fee per vehicle. This is to be arranged with the co-
ordination of Traffic Police.
Charity Dinner: Selling Coupons for a charity dinner for a particular cause is organizing a Dinner
with Fund and Games.
Collecting Old Newspapers other saleable Scraps: Door to door collection of old newspapers and
such items for a particular project. At such occasions broachers on the safe use of LPG gas can be
distributed to the housewives.
Sale of Greeting Cards & such items in festivals: Bulk orders can be made from manufacturers and a
sale be arranged for localities. You may create a sale of assorted pockets of Rs. 100, Rs. 200 & Rs.
