Chartered on 12 December 1966, Rotary Bangalore South has spent sixty years restoring schools, funding scholars, healing communities and building friendships that change lives. The story continues — and there is a place in it for you.
A member club of Rotary International, District 3191 · A 100% Paul Harris Fellow club
In November 1966, a group of Bengaluru's professionals and business leaders came together, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bangalore, to charter a new club for the fast-growing southern half of the city. Sixty years on, Rotary Bangalore South is one of District 3191's most decorated clubs — a Rotary Foundation Hall of Honor club, a 100% Paul Harris Fellow club, and the home club of five District Governors.
From restored government schools and merit scholarships to dialysis centres, neonatal care and village infrastructure, our six decades of work share a single thread: practical, lasting service to the communities of south Bengaluru and beyond.
Our projects span Rotary's areas of focus — education, health, water and sanitation, and community development — many built to last for generations.
In partnership with SABIC's CSR programme, we have rehabilitated dilapidated government schools across Bengaluru and Anekal Taluk — including two British-era heritage schools — giving thousands of children dignified places to learn.
