HPGA aims to promote and inculcate Himachali and Indian culture and contribute to the development and growth of all socio-economic domains in diaspora
Chandra, who is associated with the HPGA, Canada, said that the number of Indian students moving to Canada was increasing every year owing to salary packages with several work opportunities after course completion. “After pursuing a course, it will be easy for them to work in multinational companies. This will make it easier for them to become global citizens,” he told IANS.
The HPGA is a non-profit organisation with an aim to help the Himachal-based immigrants and students to understand the culture of the new country which they choose as the new home.
