 UNITE - CELEBRATE - HELP EACH OTHER

Harish initiated NATIONAL INDIA HUB as an initiative of NRI SEVA Foundation along with NCAIA and partner organizations who formed INDIAN TASK FORCE led by Harish to support our community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges that many Indian Americans faced.
Our goal at INDIA HUB is to UNITE, CELEBRATE & HELP EACH OTHER.

INDIA HUB's MISSION is to promote Indian culture and values by providing social, cultural, recreational and community programs, thereby uniting the Indian community, and raising awareness about Indian culture in the community ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. This is a non-religious, non-political space meant to foster community growth and coordination, increase cultural connections and awareness, and serve those who are struggling in any way. We welcome all without regard to racial, ethnic, regional, religious, political or socio-economic background.

​

INDIA HUB's VISION is to ensure that there is an Indian American Community Center in every City across the US by partnering or mentoring local passionate community leaders.

We are in process of opening our doors in the heart of Naperville and in Downtown Schaumburg, IL in November 2021 to serve as a vehicle through which we can reach the broader community in the Greater Chicago Area.

India Hub's first center in Schaumburg, IL  is one of the first nonreligious nonpartisan Indian American Community center in Greater Chicago and will serve as the National Head quarter.

NEED FOR THIS SERVICE: Over the last 45 years, the Indian American community has seen incredible growth within the US. Today, the Indian American community stands at a large number in the greater Chicago area. As of now, there are at least three generations of Indian Americans living in this area. It was our collective dream to build a community center to cater to different needs of the community, and, with this focus in mind, the idea of India Hub was conceptualized. With new developments such as the pandemic, growing population, changing trends coupled with economic diversity, the scope of the project widened to include many services and programs.
