A luncheon meeting was held by Indian Community Support Group (ICSG) at the St Regis recently to discuss various topics related to the Indian diaspora in Kuwait. Indian ambassador H.E. Sibi George was the guest of honor.
Wide ranging issues related to the Indian diaspora were discussed and various community projects were put across as part of ICSG’s commitment to assist the Indian diaspora
Ambassador briefed ICSG on the Indian embassy’s activities as part of its outreach program to assist the Indian diaspora and also initiatives taken to help the less privileged members of the community.
ICSG on its part assured the ambassador that they were keen to extend support and undertake further programs aimed at helping the community and country.
ICSG was set up by the Indian embassy in 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic to assist the Indian community with food during the lockdown. More than 20,000 ration kits that included nearly 600,000 raw uncooked meals were distributed to those who were stranded or affected by the lockdown.
ICSG also contributed significantly to the largest ever oxygen consignment to India received from abroad during the sudden and brief period of medical oxygen shortage in India due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, ICSG helped 121 low income families in India who lost their bread earner in Kuwait because of coronavirus.
The ICSG committee, comprising prominent members of the Indian community, continues to work with several Indian associations and members to alleviate and help affected Indian nationals due to job loss or death.
