We strive...
- To raise contemporary issues in politics, economy, and society to increase awareness and provide a platform for discussing them and finding solutions.
- Our mission is to foster a more integrated South Asian region, facilitating the free flow of people, ideas, goods, and services. We believe that this integration will not only pave the way for prosperity in the region but also instill hope and optimism in all involved.
- We focus on South Asian migrants residing in the United Kingdom. We offer a platform for them to talk about the opportunities and challenges they encounter in the UK. Additionally, we raise awareness within the local community about the significant contributions of South Asians to the progress of the UK, making them feel valued and integral. Furthermore, we establish a platform for interaction, idea-sharing, and discussion of policy issues and potential solutions among South Asian and British intellectuals, policymakers, and politicians.
- We offer our expertise to help donor organizations allocate funds to enhance the well-being of South Asian communities.
