With that as the beginning, the club has covered a range of projects in every Rotaract Year to make the lives of their community better. The projects were spread along all five avenues of service, but as a University-based Rotaract Club, we concentrate mostly on Professional Development and Community Service. Our project 'Fat to Fit' won the Silver Award in the Most Innovative Project category and the project ‘Nextstep’ won the Bronze Award in the Best Professional Development project category in 2019 at the Rotaract District Assembly. ‘REACH FOR WATER’ is a signature project of our club conducted under the Community Service Avenue; focused on finding a solution for a national level health issue, which is Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Origin(commonly known as CKDU). Prathibhana, Sathkara and Green Legacy are our other signature projects that our club has successfully carried out over the past few years and continues to carry out every year.

With a massive membership Base of over 150 Active Members and 100 more prospective members spanning through 9 faculties, Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya stands in as one of the largest Rotaract Clubs in RID 3220.
