StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-Indian President Confers on ICCC India’s Highest Overseas Award

Jaipur (India), January 9: Her Excellency Shrimati Pratibha Devisingh Patil, the President of Republic of India, conferred the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award (PBSA) to the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) on Monday, January 9, 2012, at a glittering ceremony held at the Birla House in Jaipur.


 The PBSA is the highest honour conferred by the Government of India on overseas Indians or an institution run by overseas Indians. The PBSA acknowledges contributions by an organisation in eight different spheres, and includes contributions that lead to a better understanding abroad of India, support to India’s causes and concerns in a tangible way, and building closer links between India, the Indian Diaspora and their country of residence.


Accepting the award on behalf of the ICCC, Mr. Satish Thakkar, President of the Chamber, said, “This is an extraordinary honour being bestowed on the ICCC. This singular recognition by the Government of India of the ICCC’s many contributions over the last 35 years is a tribute to the successive leadership of past presidents and in particular to our vibrant members across Canada.”


Mr. Thakkar is at present in India, leading an ICCC-Town of Markham business delegation to India and the UAE. The delegation, comprising over 60 small and medium business entrepreneurs from diverse sectors is also participating in the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention of the Indian Diaspora in Jaipur besides visiting Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Dubai. The Mayor of Markham, His Worship Mr. Frank Scarpitti, is the co-leader of this delegation.
