Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for Indian students to interact and share the joy of our culture and heritage, and to help new students coming from India make a smooth transition. Every year we host a diverse set of events both on and off campus such as talent shows, diwali celebration, cultural , sports tournaments, through which we promote our culture amongst the South Asian community as well as all students and faculty at Texas A&M. IA has always been an outstanding organization but with your ideas and participation, this year can be even better!
