The India Association Hong Kong 印度協會

The India Association Hong Kong is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization. The India Association is one of the oldest Indian organisations in Hong Kong.

It was founded for the purpose of organising social and cultural activities for the Indian diaspora living in Hong Kong. Presently, we still offer the same services not only to Indians but to all those who are interested in the Indian culture, religion and its people. Given that Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city with people from a diverse range of backgrounds, we now also work towards improving the

livelihoods of all those who now call Hong Kong as their home, particularly those who are not ethnic Chinese. We embrace diversity and look forward to Hong Kong truly becoming a multi-cultural city.
