RI Director,
2025–27
Dear Rotarians,
As we begin this new chapter together, let us embrace the power of unity and the purpose that binds us — doing good in the world. The presidential message “Unite for Good” is not just a slogan. It’s a direction — a bold call for collaboration, compassion and collective impact.
Rotary thrives when clubs work together and when we build bridges with partners outside our organisation. Collaboration multiplies our efforts, deepens our service, and extends our reach to communities that need us most. Let us foster synergy within districts and across borders, uniting not only in spirit but in action.
Membership is our strength. It’s time we re-energise our districts with the 10:20:30 goal — every district to achieve a net addition of 10 Rotary clubs, 20 Rotaract clubs, and 30 Interact clubs by September 30, 2025. But numbers alone won’t drive us forward — experiences will. Let’s focus on meaningful member engagement, leadership development, and creating a Rotary where every member feels valued and inspired.
The Rotary Foundation remains our engine of impact. Its power to transform lives, whether through clean water, disease prevention, or education, is unmatched. I urge every club to renew its commitment to TRF. Every contribution matters. Every dollar brings a dream closer to reality.
We’re also launching initiatives to track engagement, support new members, and fund collaborative service projects. These tools will help us stay connected to the heart of Rotary — our people and our purpose.
To recognise and amplify our work with corporate partners, we have introduced Regional CSR Awards in every zone, culminating in a National CSR Summit on November 13, 2025 in New Delhi. This is Rotary’s opportunity to lead the way in showcasing how strategic giving and service can reshape communities.
Clubs should weave the Unite for Good message into everything they do. Use it to inspire your events, energise your meetings and strengthen your stories.
As we journey through this year, let’s recommit to our core values — service, leadership, diversity, integrity and fellowship. They are not just ideals, but the foundation of all we do.
Let us Unite for Good — to grow stronger, serve deeper and leave a lasting mark on the world.
In Rotary service,
K P Nagesh
RI Director, 2025–27
