President's Message

akcaf

Welcome to the virtual office of AKCAF (All Kerala Colleges Alumni Forum), UAE - an apex body for 54 Kerala colleges alumni associations, still counting...!

At the very outset, I thank the rulers of this great country, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan- President of the UAE and His Highness Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum- Vice- President and Prime Minister of the UAE, for their generous approach in letting social organisations like AKCAF to perform its duties towards the society freely and openly. We appreciate the efforts of Community Development Authority under Govt of Dubai, to streamline the community serving organisations with the registration process they have began early 2010. Let me also acknowledge the valuable guidance and support rendered to AKCAF by the Indian Consulate in Dubai, especially Consul General H.E. Sanjay Verma. AKCAF is proud to be affiliated to ICWC (Indian Community Welfare Committee), under the patronage of C.G.

On behalf of 13th committee of AKCAF for the year 2011-2012, I'm humbled, yet my privilege, to lead the team, along with group of enthusiastic and same time mature leaders. We envisage for the year to make a difference in every activity and event that we bring across in this year. There are lots of events being lined up this year, including our flagship event for Onam celebrations, titled as AKCAF Onavirunnu, AKCAF Tagore Jaya Hey, AKCAF The Great Indian Run.

In line with new initiatives, AKCAF is launching Legal Cell spearheaded by the in-house legal professionals, Career Cell with the industry experts and an on line blood bank of our members and general public in large.

With this website, we would like to reach out to all those 28000 plus members of AKCAF, while our focus is also on those who are not part of this exhilarating journey yet. I urge the members to come forward and share your ideas to enrich our journey in AKCAF together.

Looking forward to a mutually enriching and benefiting experience in AKCAF, while living as a global yet true Indian by all means.

Jai Hind!
Shahul Hameed,
President of the AKCAF.
