RIYADH: The Hyderabad Association — which intends to bring professionals from the southern Indian city under one umbrella — launched its Riyadh chapter this weekend amid a well-attended ceremony at a city hotel.
NRI businessman and philanthropist Nadeem Tarin was the chief guest, while the guest of honor was Abdulaziz Al-Rashed, Saudi deputy minister of economic affairs.
Both praised the association for doing a wonderful job for community members by harnessing their potential for educational advancement.
Al-Rashed lauded the Indian community for its expertise, sense of discipline and law-abiding nature saying: “Your contribution toward the Kingdom’s development is well acknowledged and we appreciate it.”
Mohammed Sadeq moderated the program, while Mirza Zaheer Baig, president of the association, made a PowerPoint presentation about the activities of the group that include volunteering services for the needy Indians in the Eastern Province. The association has been helping to send housemaids back home. The Hyderabad Association in Dammam was launched five years ago.
The association, which aims to harness Indian expats’ potential for community welfare, has been concentrating on educational activities and arranges presentations on topics like personality development, orientation for newcomers on the job, tips for preparing a CV, and appearing for an interview.
