University India Centre to celebrate the 5th anniversary on 10 July

The University India Centre is delighted to announce its special celebrations of the fifth- year anniversary to be held at 17:30, Wednesday 10 July 2024 at the iconic Turner Sims Concert Hall within the Highfield campus.

The celebrations mark the impactful journey and achievements of the India Centre to coincide with the dissemination of The Ramniklal Solanki Pioneers Research Project, a joint initiative of the University of Southampton India Centre and the Asian Media Group and supported by UKRI and India Business Group.

The evening will feature keynote addresses, Pioneers Film Premiere screening, Indian cuisine and a dazzling musical performance comprising different sounds of India from the multitalented Sachin Shankor Mannath and his team of musicians.

The Pioneers research project, named after the late Mr. Ramniklal Solanki, founder of Asian Media Group, documents the untold inspirational biographies of South Asian diaspora in the United Kingdom. It is aimed at creating a ‘living history resource’ to narrate the life histories of British-Asians who have made Britain their home and contributed to its modern society particularly since the 1960s. Each has different stories to tell.

Please note that the registrations will be on a first-come first-served basis. Please register your attendance on the Eventbrite link.
