9. SUGGESTIONS FROM RI STAFF
3.Districts should ensure regular updation of records.
5.CSOs should be in active communication with district
leadership.
3. Naming patterns that some of the Rotary clubs are
adopting in adding CSOs, (Name of one school followed by
name of planets, directions, groups as prefix or suffix).
This exercise not only increase the paper work but also if the
sponsoring Rotary club dies, all these CSO also die at the
same instance. Example RC Tirupur recently chartered 20 Interact clubs
in a single school with different "houses".

Good Afternoon respected R I Officers, Rotarians, Rotaractor’s, Ladies & Gentlemen. My name is Karthik and I am a Rotaractor from RID 3190, Bangalore, India
Today I am here to present to you about the ‘Rotaract’ Bug... In a country of Billion, why are only a few people infected with the Rotaract – ‘I can’ bug ? Is it luck, is it by chance, can we not all be infected? I want to talk to you about my story; I was born in Germany {Story}. Ignite / Contagious is an amazing word... My story took a turn forever when I got infected with the Rotaract Bug when I was 18… Yes and I have been infected for good.
I continuously had a dream, a dream to ignite dreams and that started with merely 8 people at the Rotaract Club of SBMJC. It grew to 368 people there and later grew to 2000+ people in R I District 3190 and to 20000+ across India! I believed and challenged myself. I trusted the contagious nature of that feeling and that is how I have continued this journey to Ignite Dreams…
So I f not us then Who? - If not now then When? Making our Rotaractor’s good, empowered human beings is all well strived to achieve, and I can proudly say that I have empowered a lot of Rotaractor’s… Yes Igniting Many Dreams again was my Core Focus Area In this slide you see a few Rotaractor’s who have at-least ignited 1000+ dreams each one of them, and if you put that all together it is about having Ignited a few Hundred Thousand Dreams…
Take a look at our Initiative - , The Passion, Energy Excitement, have a look… Out of 8,703 Rotaract Clubs & over 200,169 Rotaractor’s India has 2200+ Clubs with over 100,000+ Rotaractor’s They do Projects, Street Plays and campaign to solve diverse problems and battle complex situations like Literacy, AIDS, Polio and Alcoholism…
What do Rotaractor’s Do ?
It doesn’t always take a lot of scholarship and erudition; nor universities and education edifices, all it takes is a little bit of common sense & passion A little bit of common sense, yes that’s what we wanted to show… Funnily that can’t happen in classrooms, you can clearly see how Ignited Rotaractor’s have further Ignited several Hundred thousand dreams… INDIA, yeah aren’t we a far cry away from being the land of Snake Charmers?
Now I believe it is time to infect Rotaractor’s from across the World - when districts in India having 2000+ Clubs & 50,000+ Rotaractor’s say ‘I can...’ why can’t you? Today, the Rotaractor’s of India, have shown this and I hope Rotaractor’s all over the World will… The Preamble of the Constitution of India said - We the people of India Like i said, IGNITE – Is a good Word
