In the year 1905 a lonely lawyer traipsing the streets of the windy city Chicago, USA, braving the sleet and rain was Mr.Paul Harris aching for friendship. Eventually he could make four friends and they started meeting regularly in their houses on rotation. They made a friend’s club called ‘Rotary’. Their first office was in the Room 911 in Evanston, US and as time progressed Rotary started to spread its wings all over the world. It was christened as Rotary International depicting its pan world character.

In 1917 a Trust was established by Rtn Arch Klumph with 26.50 dollars, called The Rotary Foundation. Over the years it has evolved as one of the most acclaimed Foundation in the world dolling out millions of dollars for hundreds of charitable work all over the world. Being one of the least expensive Trusts, it has in-built laws and regulations in collecting endowments from Institutions as Melinda Gates Foundation and from Ravishankar Dakouju and his wife Paola.
