Indian Americans for Burlington (IAB) held a launch event on Saturday June 20th, 2015 which was well attended by more than 75 community members who came out to find out more about the organization.  Ram Voruganti, the President of IAB, ably assisted by Jaya Voruganti, Anil Saigal, Indra Deb and Rita Shah described the aims of the organization and plans for the next few months. 


Burlington is home to one of the largest large Indian American population and yet unlike many other towns, there was no formal organization to represent them. IAB was formed with the intention to use the immense talent of the Indian Americans to contribute in positive ways to the people of the town. 

"Education is very important for Indian Americans and hence our organization will work to help the students at the Burlington schools. One of the first things we did was to create a scholarship for Burlington High School graduating seniors," said Anil Saigal. 

Vinita Shah, founder of Teach India project is exploring options to run a homework clinics for school children using the talent in the Indian community. 

Rita Shah  has worked tirelessly in the community to provide support services for Indian American seniors in Burlington. She invited everyone to come join and participate in the July 4th parade in the Town of Burlington.

Indra Deb is part of the Conservation Committee and talked about actively participating in town and civic activities for the overall benefit of the community and the society.

The association hopes to model itself on other successful organizations, like the Indian Americans of Lexington to create an impact in all walks of life in Burlington

IAB also unveiled their colorful logo.  The presentation was followed by refreshments and people engaged in intense chats as they enthusiastically discussed the role that IAB will play in the community.  If you are interested in finding out more about IAB or would like to join us for a future event call Ram Voruganti at (781) 229 2209.  Like and follow us on Facebook to keep in touch with us www.facebook.com/IndianAmericansforBurlington
