Friends, It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to the Canberra India Council Inc. website. Canberra India Council is a non-profit organisation that promotes understanding, harmony and mutual respect between the Indian-Australian diaspora and the Australian community. Its primary focus is to help people in the communities in which they live and work to progress and prosper. CIC works closely with other non-profit organisations to help the community and get them involved in the activities of multicultural Canberra. CIC has been integral to the National Multicultural Festival in Canberra for the past eight years. We organise signature events like “India in The City” each February and “The World Curry Festival” in July every year. The council strives to achieve its objectives mainly by organising socio-cultural events such as music and dance programs, symposiums, sporting contests and social get-togethers. CIC is ACT’s leading community organisation – one recognised by political, civic and community leaders in the ACT and around the country. It has become the voice for an emerging group of migrants excelling in every aspect of Australian society. CIC looks forward to your participation and support in our coming events!

Canberra India Council is an important multicultural community group that organises numerous events and celebrations in our national capital. As Patron, I’ve had the pleasure of attending events such as India in the City and the World Curry Festival. These events are joyous celebrations of Indian heritage and culture, as well as the contribution that Indian-Australians make here in Canberra and around the country.
