About the Club

A pioneer, by design

Chartered on 10 June 2011, the Rotary E-Club of Bangalore was the first internet-based Rotary club in the region (erstwhile District 3190) and among the first two in all of India. We proved that a club meeting on a screen can change lives on the ground. Our charter name keeps “3190”; today we serve in RI District 3191.

Our Club Banner

Service Above Self

In the Rotary tradition, clubs exchange banners as a token of friendship. Ours celebrates Bengaluru — the Garden City — and carries our charter: Club #83921, chartered in 2011. If we meet on your travels, we'd be honoured to exchange banners.

Built for international service

We pioneered the art of remote, online joint international projects.

  • Online joint projects

    Collaborative learning between schools in India and Bangladesh — entirely online, witnessed by three PDGs across two countries.

  • Cross-continent culture

    A dance-drama performed and delivered live with clubs in Ghana, joined by two District Governors.

  • Global fellowship leadership

    Our members lead global Rotary fellowships, including the Rotary Fellowship of Authors.

Connecting hearts, transforming lives

Wherever you are in the world, there is a way for us to serve together.
