Indian Community Centre inaugurated in Western Australia

On October 17 this year, Western Australia celebrated the opening of its very own Indian Community Centre in Perth. The project had been bestowed with a grant of $ 2.5 million by the federal government and has been opened with a view to fulfilling the social and cultural needs of the ever expanding Indian diaspora in Australia. Previously, in March this year Melbourne had inaugurated an Indian Community Centre. The opening of such social hubs is a testament to the fact that the Indian Community has succeeded

in creating a strong foothold in Australia. Earlier on June 15, the efforts of the Little India Harris Park Business Association (LIHPBA) to promote certain areas of Harris Park in Sydney as Little India bore fruit when the City of Parramatta Council in Sydney agreed to the proposal. Such initiatives not only help in bringing the members of the Indian diaspora in Australia closer together but also provide them an avenue to showcase the rich essence of the Indian culture despite being away from their native land.
