Message from RI President
R. Gordon R. McInally
RI President 2023-24
Even as we face new and serious challenges, Rotary takes care of its members and those we serve, works to build lasting peace, and embeds belonging and inclusion in everything we do. That is why I am asking everyone in Rotary to Create Hope in the World.
This year, we’re prioritizing projects to support mental health. This effort is deeply personal to me. I know what it’s like to see someone suffer in silence. I have also witnessed the power of personal connections, the value of discussing emotional and mental well-being, and the lifesaving impact of preventive care and treatment.
Research shows that performing acts of kindness is an effective step any of us can take to protect our well-being. And by building peace within, we become more capable of bringing peace to the world.
Building peace is the essence of Rotary. Many of our service projects foster the conditions for Positive Peace. We work tirelessly to overcome barriers and create new connections. This year, we’ll promote virtual international exchanges for members to strengthen those vital connections.
Peace isn’t a dream, and it’s not passive. It’s the result of working hard, earning trust, and having open conversations that may be difficult. Peace must be waged persistently — and bravely. Everything we do across our areas of focus has the potential to foster the hope that can make peace possible.
The spirit of connection and purpose should inspire every Rotary member. When club leaders focus on offering an excellent club experience, we retain more members and attract more prospective members. We must make our clubs as welcoming and as engaging as we can.
Our goal is to create a sense of belonging, from our club meetings to our service activities. We need to continue creating inclusive, welcoming environments where everyone can be their authentic selves. All people of action need to be able to imagine a place for themselves in Rotary — it’s up to us to ensure they can do so.
Over the next year, I will be putting a focus on continuing our journey in diversity, equity, and inclusion — ensuring that Rotary reflects the communities we serve and continues to take significant steps toward accessing the full range of human talents and experiences, so that we can better serve humanity. And we will continue to empower women and girls by helping them unlock the potential already within them.
As we begin this journey together, I take inspiration from Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns, who in the 18th century spoke of all the world becoming kin, promoting “sense and worth, over all the earth.” This has long been my call to action, and I share it now with you.
Let us build peace within and spread it freely. Let us create belonging and imagine the future of Rotary afresh. Let us work together joyously and Create Hope in the World.

Dear fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interactors
First of all, I would like to congratulate to all Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interacters for the Rotary Year 2023-24 and would like to offer my best wishes to all the leaders and members of clubs for a successful tenure. We have just successfully completed Rotary Year 2022-2023.
Rotary International, our District 3292 and all Rotary Clubs have done our best to the communities by providing humanitarian services.
I feel immense pleasure for getting the opportunity to express my views and happiness through this district directory of RY 2023-2024. This directory is one of the important documents and covers the rotary information. I hope this directory will definitely give more information about the team members to make strong coordination and communication among those Rotarians who are dedicated to make better world.
Rotary International President of RY 2023-2024, R. Gordon R. McInally called for members to capture the world’s attention and lead the way toward possibilities far beyond our current expectations. McInally, revealed the 2023-24 presidential theme, Create Hope in the World. He urged members to promote peace in troubled nations, help those affected by conflict, and maintain the momentum of initiatives begun by past leaders.
We must understand that we, Rotarians, engage ourselves in service projects for the needy communities and we can change the lives of those who are suffering. Rotary leadership, despite the fact that lasts only for one year, can be life changing if we can use the potential of our team and members of the club. Friends let us work together for better humanitarian services.
The theme of District 3292 for Rota Year 2023-24 is Light of Hope. I hope all clubs of District 3292 will do all efforts to achieve the objectives of presidential theme and district theme.
Yours in Rotary,
Rajendra Prasad Dhoju
