Indian Community and Sports Awards (ICSA) categories
announced
SPROUT is proud to announce
the categories for the first ever Indian Community and
Sports Awards (ICSA). The awards will recognise the Indian
sports people at the grassroots level in pursuit of
excellence and to honor the outstanding contributions by
Indians in the community.
SPROUT
will host the inaugural Indian Sports & Community Awards
ceremony on 26th May 2012 at the brand new 4 star
Sudima Hotel near Auckland International Airport.
The
main objective of this annual award is to promote community
development and sports in the New Zealand Indian community.
ICSA will identify, acknowledge and appreciate not only
individual talents but also honour the community or
organisation that has supported the society.
SPROUT
being a pioneering, grassroots and a non-profit organisation
in the Indian community is the deserving group to host such
awards that promote community development and sports. This
ICSA award is an extension of what they do already. Also
the recent award to SPROUT by the Auckland City Council’s
Infratil awards has given even more leverage to host the
ICSA initiative.
