Indian Overseas Congress

Celebrating 61 Years of Independence!

The Indian Overseas Congress (I) UK was formed in the early 1970's by late S Piara Singh Uppal, late S Darshan Singh Sandhu MBE and other members. In those times the Indian community within the UK was very small and their was a steady flow of people still comming to the UK from all over India.

During that era, the prime minister for India was the late Mrs Indira Gandhi. The purpose of the Indian Overseas Congress (I) UK (IOC), was to promote the policys within the western world of the Congress Party in New Delhi. Having not long been given independence the Non Resident Indian's (NRI's) within the UK played a vital roll in the stability and progression of India.

Bearing in mind that now in 2007 their are only an hand full of founder members still with us, the organisation has flourished, we have branches throughout the UK and also a Youth Congress wing ( IOYC ). Our current National President is Mr Bhagwan Dass Badhan and Secretary General is Mr Avtar Singh Sandhu.
