On August 14th, Nick and I made our way to Evanston, Illinois — home of our Rotary
International headquarters and our new home for the next two years.
I must confess, I was incredibly excited to finally sit in my president-elect office. To work from
a space that I have respected for years. It was also nice to work from someplace other than my
dining room table.
Within the first week, I received a private message from a Rotarian early in the morning.
He said, “I am not sure if you remember me. You have spoken at our club, and we met in
Hamburg.”
He went on to say that he had a long-shot favor to ask me. His club had a relationship with
a scholar, a peace activist in Kabul, Afghanistan — a young woman who was now in
danger. Was there anything I could do to help get her onto an evacuation plane? He told me
that smartphones were being confiscated and she was using hers with a private network to
mask where she was phoning from.
We all remember the scenes as thousands of desperate people were trying to flee from the
Kabul airport.
From the comfort of my new office, and sitting behind my big desk, I suddenly felt very small.
Who was I, and what could I possibly do?
A few years earlier, Pat Merryweather, one of our Rotary International directors, introduced
me to a peace fellow who held the kind of position that could perhaps influence this type of
situation. Now it was my long shot.
I reached out, and that certain Rotary magic that we all know so well took over.
It’s the Rotary Peace Fellow who’s the hero of this story. I don’t know everything that
happened, but in less than 24 hours, the young woman was on an evacuation list. Two days
later, we learned she was safely en route to Europe for further processing.
Imagine her thoughts that day as the plane launched into the sky.
This, my friends, is the power of Rotary. When the right connections are made, the world
aligns and our stories merge. Our differences dissolve, and the only limit to our impact is the
barrier of our imagination.
I want to take you to November 9th, 2014. Nick and I found ourselves on the rooftop of a hotel
in Berlin, looking down on over 1 million people. They were there in jubilant celebration at the

Earlier that day, at an event hosted by Past President Holger [Knaack], I met a woman by the
name of Tatjana Jury. At the time, 25 years earlier, she was a fresh-faced young radio reporter
in the east of Berlin.
She shared, “We had no idea what was going on. My news director was having a nervous
breakdown, and I didn’t know what to do.”
So she took her tape recorder and she went out to explore, because, in her words, “When you
want to grab history, you have to grab history.”
She saw thousands of people going back and forth between the East and the West. She saw
people chipping away at the barrier. And she went back to her newsroom, and she filed her
story.
As I heard Tatjana share this, the power of connection was once again weaving its magic.
On that exact same day, I was also a rookie reporter. I was alone in a newsroom in Windsor,
Canada. The alarm bells went off, which meant that something significant was happening
somewhere in the world. I raced over to the old news wire machine and I read that the Berlin
Wall was coming down. The Cold War was ending.
And just like Tatjana, I didn’t know what to do. But I knew that this was history. And “when
you want to grab history, you have to grab history.” I went into the news booth and I shared
the incredible news.
Imagine, the two of us being more than 4,000 miles apart yet sharing in a world-altering
experience.
So, 25 years later, when Tatjana and I met, we shared some tears. I don’t know whether the
news wire story was hers, but I choose to believe that it was.
Only when we live in shared experience like this can we create world peace through
understanding. And that world can only manifest when we commit ourselves to equity, human
rights, and fairly allocating community resources. Or perhaps, as we all best know it, being
fair to all concerned.
As we strive to weave diversity, equity, and inclusion into Rotary, removing the barriers is the
key to inclusion. And inclusion is the key to membership.
While this may seem like a new call to action, it is not new thinking. I want you to listen to the
actual recording of our founder, Paul Harris, in 1933 at our 24th annual convention:
Rotary is thrown open to representatives of all walks of life, to representatives of all countries
and all forms of religion... Herein lies the genius and the glory of Rotary ....while Rotarians

A few years ago, I was interviewed on an American television program. Just prior to the start
of the taping, the host revealed something striking: He had been a Rotarian for over 30 years,
but it was only recently that he “got Rotary.”
He became involved in a project that delivered coats to children in his community. And for the
first time, it all clicked. He saw firsthand the power of service, and he truly became engaged.
He even went on to serve as a club president.
Imagine — more than 1,500 club meetings before he finally “got Rotary.” So what lesson does
this offer us?
The past few decades have been tough as plants have shut down due to competitive market
forces. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost, never to be replaced.
So what do you do in this kind of a situation? You adapt. It’s taken time, but our community is
now a world-class leader in agribusiness and cutting-edge medical and aerospace technology.
We too must adapt and retool. Finding the right “part” to engage each member should be our
core function. It comes down to the comfort and care of our members.
A few years ago, my friend Bronwyn Stephens took me to a school in Melbourne. It was there
I met a young Interactor named Peter. He told me, “If you want responsible children, you have
to give them responsibilities.”
Peter was onto something important. We don’t have a problem bringing members into Rotary.
We struggle to keep them. We’re a revolving door — in every part of our world.
We need to ask our members what they want out of their experience — and then, we need to
provide them with meaningful responsibilities.
It’s our offer of hands-on service, personal growth, leadership development, and lifelong
friendships that creates purpose and passion. These are our responsibilities. If we don’t serve
our members, we don’t serve our communities. And if we don’t provide comfort and care for
our members, they may never truly “get” the power of Rotary.

We have been entrusted with leadership in our great organization. Now it’s up to us to be brave
and intentional in our actions and to let others help us lead.
I am thrilled today to announce that, starting on July 1st of this year, I have appointed a
Rotaractor with the responsibility of becoming a Rotary public image coordinator. I
have officially included Rotaractors on several committees, and during our term, I will begin
to assign a select group of Rotaractors as president’s representatives.
President Shekhar [Mehta] launched our Empowering Girls initiative last year, and it has
resonated around the world. We will continue this bold effort, recognizing that empowered
girls become empowered women.
We have less than a year and a half to achieve the board-set target of 30% women in Rotary.
We’ve come a long way, and already more than 110 countries have achieved this goal. That
said, we have a long way to go — and 30% is the next stop on the way to 50%. And you know,
our members in Rotaract have already achieved this distinction.
Speaking of embracing the different and unique, new clubs — and especially new club models
— are vital to growing Rotary. I need your help with this, and I am asking each of you to help
form at least two new innovative or cause-based clubs during your term as governor.
Then, and perhaps most importantly, instill in them, and your existing clubs too, our
comfort-and-care philosophy. Let’s make sure we engage our members so they love their clubs
and their Rotary experience.
While we work to innovate Rotary from within, we’re going to also place a special
emphasis on raising Rotary’s profile in the world, holding a global impact tour that celebrates
our achievements.
We’re going to actively connect with thought leaders and world leaders in dialogue about how
we can work together to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
Rotary opens these doors, and we need to harness our connections to deepen these
relationships and create new partnerships. And the best part is, this can happen at every level
of leadership.
We all feel the impact that Rotary service and Rotary values have on us. Now it’s our
opportunity to share that feeling with others.
I remember attending a Rotary meeting in Korea. And while I didn’t understand the language,
there was this wonderful moment when they started speaking in unison. It was clear from the
12
District Directory
RY 2022-2023
I felt comfort in that moment — the kind of comfort that comes from familiarity. Our core
values, our traditions, our heritage — these are powerful things that we hold true yet build
upon, as we imagine how we can be so much more.
Fifty years ago, an anthem was recorded that included this beautiful line:
I hear that lyric as a call to action. We all have dreams, but acting on them is a choice. And
when organizations like ours dream big things like ending polio and creating peace, it becomes
our responsibility to make these dreams a reality.
Imagine a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing that we can make
a difference. You don’t imagine yesterday. You imagine tomorrow.
Some of you may be familiar with this play, or some of you may be more familiar with the
Puccini opera that inspired it, “La Bohème.”
My friend sitting governor Michelle Bohreer recently challenged each of us to think about
how each one of us gets the same number of minutes. How we choose to live them is the
important question.
On July 1, the clock starts ticking. How will you use these minutes?

We believe in Rotary’s Four Way Test, which teaches us that we as Rotarians believe in true and
fair actions which will bring goodwill and will be beneficial to all concerned. Rotary’s Core Values:
Fellowship, Diversity, Leadership, Service and above all Integrity must guide each and every Rotarian.
Working for Rotary should be passion and fun, and should not have stress and pressure. Then only we
can enjoy Rotary. Look around for people to work together and Rotary gives us that opportunity to
do service with fellowship. Sometimes people may ask which part or segment of Rotary we like. Our
answer should always be we like Rotary in entirety and not one particular portion.
2022-2023 is a special year for Rotary International as we all are going to work under the dynamic
leadership of Jennifer Jones, first female President in 117 years of Rotary International history to
achieve the targets set for 2022-2023.
Friends more than fifty years ago, one popular song was recorded that included this beautiful line:
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one.
Friends, we all have dreams, but acting on them is a choice. And it becomes our responsibility to make
these dreams a reality.
Let us imagine a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing that we can make a
difference.
With above vision, Rotary International President Jennifer Jones has given the theme “Imagine
Rotary” for the year 2022-2023. Our district has our Theme “Together for a better world”.
By focusing on our strategic plan and expands our reach by engaging the Family of Rotary at every
age, gender and culture to create lasting change, we can see Rotary increases our impact. We have to
give more emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion to achieve growth in female membership and
members under the age of forty however without losing the sight of membership retention. We also
should work for girl child education leading to women empowerment.

I and my spouse Samira would like to extend best wishes to the first lady
Sarita and District Governor Jitendra Bahadur Rajbhandary and entire
district 3292 team and most importantly the Presidents of all clubs for a very
fruitful year 2022-23.
Rotary changes lives of people and including our own. A Rotarian, when asked
where she/he goes every week will say that she/he go to meet with friends to change the world. Rotarians are
‘people of action’ and game changers to serve any community and the world. Rotary connects all the peoples
of the world in one umbrella of humanitarian service. Rotary is forever changing, yet it is an organization
which has been built on enduring principles which enable Rotarians around the globe to connect for the good
of the whole world.
This Rotary year 2022-23, under the leadership of first lady International President Jennifer Jones with the
theme ‘Imagine Rotary’, is going to be another beautiful year of service for all of us and we are looking for-
ward to again reaching the people and community by putting ourselves to their service and bring a change.
In Rotary every year there is a change of leadership, but core values of Rotary, Four way test and Objects of
Rotary do not change. Rotarians do things differently than doing different things.
Since past two and half years, we all have gone through the very difficult times due to COVID 19 pandemic.
But we Rotarians have been able to come out of the uncomfortable situation and serve the humanity in need
with our unique motto ‘Service above Self’ and we have commitment to do it forever. That is what Rotary
is all about.
The End Polio has been our top priority since many years and we plan to eradicate it by 2023 with only two
countries Pakistan and Afghanistan, remaining in the world to be declared polio free. The priority service
projects for next year as envisaged by the Rotary International President are Girl child education and Saving
the environment. For these, every club and Rotarians have to work hard.
I sincerely request all of our members to adopt to new normal environment and take up the challenges to
convert them in to the opportunities and do good for community. Let us try bringing more Rotarians, more re-
sources, more knowledge, skill, attitude and practice to do better for the people and community. Connecting,
continuing and collaborating among all partners is important in bringing quality of life of people. The major
partners are the local bodies beside others, with whom, Rotary should collaborate to bring changes in lives.
As a District Governor for Rotary year 2023-24, I urge you all to be committed as a true Rotarian and con-
tinue your service to Rotary as always and together we can.
Once again best wishes to first lady Sarita and District Governor Jitendra Bahadur Rajbhandary and his team
for a successful Rotary year 2022-23.

One of the unique traits of humans, a trait not present in any other
form of life, is their ability to imagine things. An ability which,
if channelized in the right direction, can result in a new and a better world. This is what our
leader for 2022-2023 Jennifer Jones is urging all of us to do.
We can work towards growing our organization, retaining those who are already there, elevate
Rotaract, consciously work towards Diversity, /Equity and Inclusion, empower the less privi-
leged girls and carry out impactful and meaningful service projects and enhance the image of
Rotary in the community. All of these require only one ability – the ability to imagine. That
will unleash the power within each one of us.
I wish each and every rotarian of district 3292 a meaningful year and an enhanced value for
their membership in the coming rotary year.

With Newer Horizons, Newer Themes, Newer Members, More Contributions, And we all pledge
again to do Service Above Self and do Good in the World!!!
The New Rotary Year begins with the first ever lady President of the Rotary International –
Jennifer Jones. It begins with promises of vibrant and diverse future. Imagine, Implement and
Inspire will be chanted across the Globe by all Rotarians. It’s a year of Imagining to widen the
horizons of Rotary actions of serving humanity across the Globe. As everyone says, we step out,
we do things and of course we are the people who make things happen in our worlds and for our
communities. It’s time to imagine of innovative ideas to scale up and give a fresh look to our
strategies of working differently, than ever before over seven areas of focus. Let us imagine a larger
family with larger participation by Young Rotarians and more Rotractors who will join in, in the
mission with newer ideas of effective performance, participations and building a stronger public
image through social media presence. Let us imagine a cohesive picture of experience, expertise
and enthusiasm flavoring each other to achieve success. Let us use the modern tools effectively
such as the virtual meetings and conferences and through apps and blogs and many more.
I am lucky to work under the guidance and support of two great Rotary Global Leaders in
Immediate RI President – Shekhar Mehta and RI President Elect - Jennifer Jones. Shekharda
has created a special Endowment Fund, inspiring Rotarians to join hands for great humanitarian
service projects the world expects Rotarians to do and implement successfully. For Jennifer, we
must learn to do things a little bit differently and more authentically.
It is hoped that the world will be certified Polio free from the year 2026. Our mission of raising
One Million Dollars each year continues. With Pakistan becoming almost Polio Free, I trust we
may achieve our goal much before and Rotary’s dream of 1978 of a Polio Free World may come
true. I am confident that all the Rotarians across the World and especially India will support the
Polio eradication drive with the same zeal and spirit with which they fought the battle with Covid
19 Pandemic.
Time flies. 26 Years ago I was invited n Rotary organization. A novice with no ideas, just
observing the legacy of “ROTARY” and wondering how such great institute came into existence
and remained World leader for more than a century. In 1998 someone suggested that I should take
up the club leadership to which like an innocent child I said “YES”. The club roaster was printed

This opportunity of Rotary leadership was realized in “Transformation of Lives through Service
“. My memory lane goes back to RID3130 when our district covered 2/3 of Maharashtra and
thousands of projects were mapped and completed. It’s amazing to see drought affected
villages and dry lands turning into agro green; children attending schools with smiles; women
empowerment; no more cripples born; ecofriendly environment; and many more milestones
achieved through global network of Rotary.
Let me Congratulate Rtn. Jitendra Rajbhandary for getting crowned as District Governor for 2022-
23 (RID 3292). I have closely observed his innovative Leadership Qualities and I am confident that
he would present one of the most performing years for the District 3292.
He would indeed go a step ahead in supporting other Districts in terms of Programs and Projects.
It is encouraging to learn the Agenda of great and innovative Service Projects as also strengthening
the District with more Clubs and Members.
Rtn. Amita joins me in extending Best of our wishes for a successful and vibrant year RI 2022-23
for Dist 3292. Under the Leadership of Rtn. Jitendra Rajbhandary. May all his Dream Plans come
true.

Editor’s Note
It is with great pleasure and privilege for me to present the District Directory
2022-23 to you.
I am humbled by the Trust and Confidence District Governor Jitendra B. Rajbhandary has bestowed
upon my team and me to lead the publication and GML of RI District 3292 for the Rota Year 2022-23.
Timely communication within Rotary is important in order for us to be an effective club and also to
minimize time-waste. It is for this reason we hope this District Directory shall prove very handy for
your use. Apart from using the directory to connect with our fellow Rotarians, you can use this to know
more about District Information, know the District Team members to reach out to facilitate and support
your Club’s Activity and a referential material to RI District 3292 and Rotary International.
I thank all the Assistant Governors, Presidents and Secretary for their support in bringing out this
District Directory. Collecting information from all the 154 clubs, compiling it, and then designing
and formatting is really a tiresome and tedious process and this could not happen without the support
from all the Club President and Secretary. Despite our effort we might have erroneously missed out or
inaccurately presented data, for which I would like to apologize in advance and request to kindly notify
us of any such miss representation so that we can update our record.
Further, I cannot thank enough IPDG Santosh Prasad Rijal and District Secretary Amit Giri for
standing as a backbone and supporting us through the process. I would also like to acknowledge
the support of my team and special appreciation and Thanks for the tireless effort and contribution of
Rotary District 3292 Office Manager Mr. Mahesh Bir Bajracharya for giving his all best effort to finish
the Directory in time.
Lastly, I would like to wish all the Presidents and the team a successful tenure. Let us all “Imagine
Rotary” as our RI President Jennifer E. Jones has inspired us and try to achieve it.
Jay Rotary!
Thank you.

District Grants
District grants are block grants made to Districts to support smaller projects, such as scholar-
ships, projects, and travel that align with the mission of The Rotary Foundation both locally
and internationally.
Districts may use up to 50 percent of their available District Designated Fund for
these grants in a given Rotary year and administer the grant without the Foundation’s
involvement. Club submits their requests to the District, which administers and distributes
the funds. Each District sets its own procedures and policies for how and when Clubs submit
requests, as well as any additional requirement.
Global Grants
Global grants support larger projects such as scholarships, projects, vocational
training teams, and some travel within the six areas of focus that are sustainable,
measurable, and host community-driven. These grants will be administered by the Foundation
which accepts and reviews applications as they arrive for the funding in a manner similar to
the current system. All Global Grants have a minimum budget of US$30,000.
All Rotary Clubs and Districts are eligible to apply for Global grants from The Rotary
Foundation to support sustainable activities with high-impact outcomes in one or more of the
seven areas of focus.
Rotary has selected these seven areas to focus its efforts as these areas reflect some of the most
critical and widespread humanitarian needs:

As a Rotarian, I will:
1. Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life
2. Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect
3. Use my professional skills through Rotary to mentor young people, help those with special
needs, and improve people’s quality of life in my community and in the world
4. Avoid behavior that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians
AVENUES OF SERVICE
Based on the Object of Rotary, the Five Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical
cornerstone and the foundation on which the activities of a Club are based:
i. Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective
functioning of the Club.
ii. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and
to practice high ethical standards.
iii. Community Service covers the projects and activities the Club undertakes to improve
life in its community.
iv. International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s
humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.
v. Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults
through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.
Rotary International Council of Legislation (CoL) on April 28, 2010 has recognized the youths
in Rotary by approving enactment to add “New Generations” as the Fifth Avenue of Service.
The CoL of 2013 had made an amendement to change the name from “New Generation” to
“Youth Service”.

The Award will be given away every two years in October- the Vocational Service month in

Past Rotarian Gopal Raj Bhandari (June 25, 1921 to February 17, 2008) was one of the
founder members of Rotary movement in Nepal since 1957. Recognizing his unparalleled
contributions to the Rotary services in Nepal, Rotary International honored him with the
Rotary’s highest award “Service Above Self” in 2001. The untiring efforts of late Gopal Raj

“Rotary Journo Award” was initiated in 2012 as a means to enhance public image of
Rotary in Nepal by encouraging active journalist to disseminate positive communication in the
society. Similar to Rotary’s focus six areas of service, Federation of Nepalese Journalists have
also five distinct groups like Education Journalist group, Swastha Patrakar Samuha, Forum for
Environment Journalist, Sancharika Samuha (Women’s group) and Nepal Aarthik
Patrakar Samuha (economic development). So, the Rotary Journo Award is given to the best
performing journalists working these groups at different media plus one in the mainstream
journalism. In this endeavor, Rotary is partnering with the five journalist groups under the

Rotary Journo Award for six persons carry a prize money of Rs.25,000/- each and a Token of
Appreciation given in a special ceremony around May/June every year. This Award program
is funded by all members of the Rotary Clubs in the District.
The latest Rotary Journo Award handover ceremony was held on June 2, 2018, and
the 39 journalists who have been awarded so far (listed below) are, in fact, Rotary’s
ambassadors in the Nepalese journalism to spread positive vibes about Rotary in the
society. So, each and every Rotary club can and should try to be in contact with them, and
invite them in Rotary’s service activities/ programs to keep them informed of Rotary’s good
works so that they can carry positive messages in the society
Rotary Journo Award is established in 2012 to recognize and encourage individual journalists
and institutions, who have communicated encouraging and exemplary news to help generate
positive thoughts in the Nepalese society. The award is given away in six focus areas of Rotary
Service like Education, Health, Environment, Economic and Community Development, Women
development and mainstream journalism.
Rotary Nepal greatly values the partnership and cooperation with the Nepalese
journalist and media partners to serve the people of Nepal with an unbiased information
that would inspire and make aware the pertinent issues in the society through professional
media services. This annual Rotary Journo Award is a small effort to strengthen the cordial
relations existing between Rotary and the media world through recognizing few deserving
journalists who are dedicated to serve the common goals of Rotary and the Media world and
thus deserve recognition.

Poor quality education is leaving a legacy of illiteracy more widespread than previously believed.
Around 175 million young people in poor countries – equivalent to around one quarter of the youth
population – cannot read all or part of a sentence, affecting one third of young women in South and
West Asia. What’s more, roughly one in five school-aged children are not in school at all.
Children and adolescents are excluded from education for many reasons. Poverty remains one
of the most obstinate barriers, with children from the poorest households almost five times more
likely to be out of primary school than those from the richest. Children with disabilities and from
ethnic minorities are also more likely to be left behind.
Location also keeps children from school. Children from rural areas are more than twice as likely
to be out of primary school than their urban peers. Without skills for lifelong learning, children face
greater barriers to earning potential and employment later in life. They are more likely to suffer
adverse health outcomes and less likely to participate in the decisions that affect them – threaten-
ing their ability to build a better future for themselves and their communities. Acquiring functional
literacy skills fosters a sense of self-fulfillment, equips learners with the ability to improve their
families’ living standards, and may also encourage parents to play a more active role in their
children’s education.
With the commitment made at the 2012 South Asia Conference in Kathmandu, the RID 3292
initiated the mission for a Literate Nepal. After Polio, this would be the flagship project; for
illiteracy leads to poverty and prompting violence and other non-social activities.
Nepal’s worrying education scenario which shows nearly 97% enrollment in the primary level:
drops to nearly 50% by the children reaching the middle school:
• Less than 50% children enrolled in grade 01 reach grade 05 (Primary Education)
• Less than 40% enrolled reach grade 08 (Basic Education)

With the declaration by the Ministry of Education, MOE, to achieve universal enrolment,
literacy and quality education; RID 3292 constituted the Rotary Nepal Literacy Mission (RNLM),
to supplement and compliment the efforts of MOE in ensuring quality education in
Community Schools and in promoting a Literate Community through active engagement of its
network of Rotary Clubs and its Partners-in-Service. In recent times the District is committed to work
towards 100% Literacy by 2030 through the very important RNLM Program of activities, thus it
is expected of Clubs to participate actively in achieving the target and thereby complementing the
Government.
The Rotary Nepal Literacy Mission (RNLM) has in recent years reformed it’s programs:
T-E-A-C-H (Teacher Support, E-Learning, Adult Literacy, Child Development, Happy Schools),
WASH in Schools (WINS) and Back to School, and collaborative interlinking with the ERRRP
(Earthquake Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program) pursuits. In order to materialize
the Vision of Total Literacy by 2030, a Strategic Plan has been prepared to help the Clubs to make
an initial headway for the 5 year period between RY 2020-21 and 2024-25, which will actually be
in line with the District Goals. Similarly, RNLM will be launching it’s Manual with operational
guidelines: describing the implementing procedures for the RNLM Programs, assisted under a
upgraded structure.
The manual, besides others, will also include sample forms of Student/Family Information.
The data provided can help in proper program priority required for each such student and their
families. Besides family details, future ambitions of students and types of skill development
training that adults wish to take up, will be part of the form. Skilled trainings could also be given
to such needy children, and also ensure that these activities be possibly done without their studies
being distracted .
Health of children will be another area which RNLM also seriously plans to introduce from
this year, for without having good health students will not be able to concentrate on studies
properly and eventually may discontinue school. Children need to be supported with school uniform ,
shoes, umbrella/raincoat; to encourage their presence in school regularly. Also, many schools don’t
have enough materials or the proper kinds of materials to facilitate teaching and learning.
While materials alone cannot produce quality education, materials can play an important role in
enhancing the classroom environment. Providing materials such as dictionaries, desks, and
textbooks is certainly a great help to any school in need. Seeing a child who has never had these
materials receive them for the first time is heartwarming and provides an overwhelming sense of
fulfillment.
Time is for action now, as a lot has been spoken. Rotary Clubs have always focused on
primarily the Basic Health and Basic Education projects under Rotary’s Focus Areas. A Happy and
Progressive Nepal can only be reached with a Literate Nepal. Similar association with the other
District Committees/Sub Committees will be made where required. The need now is to also move
forward and take the Programs and Rotary to the Provinces in Nepal and its areas where Rotary’s

Data D3292 ** As of May 2021
The RNLM operational structure is modified from this July with a focus in the 7 Provinces, where
we expect a ten member Committee under a PDG led Chair. This Committee will be part of the
larger Steering Committee where we also will have the Working Committee with a Chair and 3
Co-Chairs; and support members in T-E-A-C-H, WASH and Back to School programs besides,
representation from the Government, UNICEF and UNESCO. The DRR and DIR will also be part
of the Steering Committee. Similar to Provincial Committees, Club level Literacy Committees are
to be established too..
From the coming Rotary Year every club must involve their Rotaracts Interacts, RCCs and
other partners viz. Spouse Groups and Inner Wheelers. D3292 has 144 Clubs (including Rotary
of Thimpu in Bhutan) and 129 Rotaract Clubs,125 Interact clubs and 116 RCCs. These RCCs
need to exercised, especially, to run the Adult Literacy and Income Generation Activities. It will
be necessary in Adopting of Schools (more than ONE) to start a RNLM sponsored project.
Nevertheless initially, besides setting up a Club Literacy Committee, a Memorandum of
Understanding with the adopted school and a formation of a Project Implementation &
Monitoring Committee, therein, will be required. Following this a School Improvement Plan
needs to be prepared or reviewed so that a long term 5 years or more commitment to make the said
schools a Child Friendly Happy School. From this the status/needs of the school such as classroom,
desks/benches, Science/E-Lab, Library water & sanitation condition of toilets, drinking water
system. play/assembly grounds, can be ascertained. Annual plans of the programs and activities
year wise accordingly needs to be made to establish the adopted schools as a Happy School. The
RNLM has a matrix format available to Clubs and Provinces to assist the Clubs. Take the support.
Submissions for listing of adopted schools should also make mention of the partners: Rotaract/
Interact Clubs, RCCs, Inner Wheel/Spouse Groups, and other Corporates/Institutions.
Rotarians need to be proactive and lead the way. On the part of the RNLM and the District
co-operation tie-ups will be ensured with International Rotary Districts/Clubs, the Federal and
Local Government and Municipalities

“Rotary is not a charitable organization, yet its activities exemplify the charity and the
sacrifices that one should expect from people who believe that they have a responsibility to
help others.”
“Rotary is not a religious organization, but it is built on those eternal principles that have
served as the moral compass for people throughout the ages.”
“You, __________ (name/s of new member/s), have been chosen for membership of the
Rotary club of _______________ because your fellow members believe you to be a leader in
your special line of activity and because you manifest those qualities of head and heart that fit
you to interpret and impart the message of Rotary.”
“You are the representative of your vocation, that is (classification/s of the proposed
member/s), in this club and any information of an educational value pertaining to your craft
must naturally come to us through you.”
“At the same time you become an ambassador from us to your classification, and we rely on
you to carry the principles and ideals of service, which we here inspire, to those who share
your professional activity.”
“The community will know and judge Rotary by your embodiment of it in character and
service, and we accept you as a member because we know our principles and organization to
be safe in your keeping.”
