Thithikkum Deepavali 2009

22nd NOV 2009-"Thithikkum Deepavali" Nite 2009 was held at Hotel Grand Akila, Bandung, Indonesia. This yearly event saw Putera MIC Bandung (PMB) as a sponsor and also inducted PMB as part of the UNPAD studentbody. We were honored this year for having our MIC Youth Leader, Mr.T.Mohan as our chief guest for this special occasion.

In hopes that this event would broaden people's perspective towards MIC and PMB, Deepavali Nite 2009 saw not only breath-taking performances but also interactions between the delegates with Indian students of UNPAD and Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB). Deepavali Nite

2009 is another effective effort

We also deliberately promoted membership to join PMB and did the launching shortly after. This event would mark a meaningful event in yedone by the Indian students who are studying in Bandung,Indonesia to unite all under one roof for a spectacular evening that would be a reminiscence worth lasting.

Dialogue session with MIC delegates-First activity organised by PMB

21st NOV 2009- As our first activity since establishment the PMB organised MIC delegates to come over to Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), Bandung, Indonesia to have a dialogue session with the Indian students in UNPAD. Among the delegates that were present was Mr.T.Mohan MIC Youth Leader, Mr.Mahaganapathy, and Mr.Sivaraj.

The purpose of the dialogue session being held was to let the students of UNPAD are aware of PMB and of course in any ways possible be the source for the Indian students to reach out to the MIC. In that effort, the MIC delegates themselves engaged in heated conversations with the students regarding study loans, MIC's role in the community's development and current issues on the Malaysian Indian community.

The session ended with the MIC delegates giving out presentation on the MIC structure of organisation and their role of establishment as well as welfare for Malaysian Indians and giving out souveniers- Dato Sri S.Samy Vellu's biography- to students who were lucky. By the end of the day, students were satisfied on both as in they got to know more about MIC and they would gain more knowledge on study loans.
