Saturday June 1st 2024 will mark the 163rd anniversary of the arrival of 2,474 Indians from India to SVG during the years 1861 to 1880.
Organized by SVG Indian Heritage Foundation
For many years the SVGIHF held re-enactments of Indian arrival at Indian Bay, where a boat arrived with persons of Indian descent and friends dressed in Indian wear, were given their certificates of assignment to various estates in the State. An official ceremony followed, with addresses from Dignitaries, breakfast, sharing and a photo session.
IAD 2024: This year, the SVGIHF will be collaborating with the Calder Neighbourhood Watch Committee to host a National Cultural and Educational Rally in Calder. On the recent visit of the then President of India a road in Calder was named “India Drive.”
