All Kerala Colleges Alumni Forum(AKCAF)
AKCAF, established in 1998, is an apex integrated body of about 50 active independent alumni associations of Kerala colleges, possibly the largest socio-professional organization functioning in the UAE. AKCAF is registered with ICWC, which is running under the patronage of Indian Consulate, Dubai. Members of AKCAF include, service personnel, professionals, prominent businessmen, people from industry and trade, banks and financial institutions, IT, etc., dignitaries of Indian missions, and other social veterans. This gives a strong profile for the AKCAF organization, as it relates to a significant portion of the UAE population, and hence, the AKCAF events are very popular among the Indian community.
Obviously, the large membership of about 20,000 people, spread over business, service and other sectors, is the vital strength of AKCAF, which makes it a distinct arm of the Indian community residing in the UAE.
The fabulous and wide range of AKCAF events include:
- traditional festivals like Onam;
- sports meets;
- widely participated games, such as cricket tourney, etc.
- educational events;
- christmas and Iftar meet;
- other social and literary events.
In the current year 2007, AKCAF is organizing additional innovative events like:
- Carnival
A social get-together giving an opportunity for the whole expatriate community, with family and children, to gather at a common place to participate in fun-filled events and cultural programs.
- Business Meet
Which serves as a platform for establishing interaction between AKCAF and the business celebrities.
AKCAF will continue to remain as a large platform for the interaction of educated personnel, artists, service personnel, professionals and businessmen of the Indian community in the UAE. |
