History of Rotary International District 3291

The Rotary movement started on 23rd February, 1905 in Chicago, USA. Rotary was born in India with the first meeting of "Old Number One" the Rotary Club of Calcutta, at Peliti's Restaurant, 11 Government Place, Calcutta on September 26, 1919 and the granting of its charter on 1st January, 1920.

IBCMJS

Although Rotary districts were established for the first time in 1912, clubs in India, Burma, Ceylon, Malaysia, Java and Siam did not come under any district. They were grouped together as the IBCMJS area.

Provisional District A

In 1931 India, Burma and Ceylon were formed into provisional District 'A'.

District 89

On July 1, 1936 Rotary International decided that India having 16 Rotary Clubs should be granted district status. India became Rotary District No. 89. In 1937-1938, the first Governor of the District was Sir Pheroze Sethna of the Rotary Club of Bombay.

District 88

In 1939, District 89 was bifurcated. Clubs in our region found themselves in District 88 under District Governor B T Thakur. He called the first conference of District 88 in March 1940 when 16 clubs were represented.

District 90

From 1942-1943, the District was again renumbered as a result of the increase of the number of Rotary Clubs in India and became the 90th District. The Rotary Club of Calcutta was again honoured by the election of its Past President Dr. A C Ukil as first Governor of the new District and he presided over its first conference in Calcutta in 1943.

District 91

The District was renamed District 91 in 1946-1947.

District 53

Rotary in India continued to be active forming new clubs and soon new Districts had to be formed to prevent old geographical areas becoming too unwieldy. Calcutta found itself in District 53. The District was unique in that it covered in those days 18 Rotary Clubs located in no less than three countries viz., India, East Pakistan and Burma. The Indian territory included West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Assam and a portion of Madhya Pradesh.

District 325

At the end of the decade (1957) the District was regrouped and renumbered with three digits into Districts 325 and 326. Our District 325 consisted of Burma, India - that portion including Assam, Nagaland and West Bengal, Nepal, Sikkim and that portion of Bihar within the territorial limits of the Rotary Club of Asansol, West Bengal.

District 3290

From 1990 Rotary International introduced 4 digits in its District numbering system and District 3290 came into being. This comprised of 11 revenue districts of West Bengal - Kolkata, 24 Parganas North, 24 Parganas South, Bankura, Hooghly, Howrah, Murshidabad, Nadia, Paschim Medinipur, Purba Medinipur and Purulia; Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Nepal.

District 3291

2008-2009 saw the formation of District 3291 minus the clubs in Nepal.
