“Kerala Center is very happy to honor American Malayalees who excel in their professions and who work for social progress – their examples should be an inspiration for others,” said Dr. Madhu Bhaskaran, chairman of the board and award committee.
The awardees will be honored in the presence of government officials and leaders from the USA and India, who are expected to attend the awards gala. There will be variety entertainment programs and a fabulous dinner for the guests at the event.
