ABOUT IMWA
Indian Muslims residing in Kuwait were feeling for a long time to have a representation to discuss their socio economical problems and to feel togetherness in upholding the values of Islamic teachings and national integration. In 1994, a group of leading Indian Muslims living in Kuwait met and worked together to frame the common objective which led into formation of an all India body representing Muslims from all the states of India who were living in Kuwait to bring them under the banner of an association which was later named as Indian Muslim Welfare Association.
The first Executive Committee was formed in 1995 under the presidentship of Dr. Masood Athar. Elections were held after every two years. Initially, the Executive Committee comprised of 11 members which were later extended to 15. IMWA believes in representing Indian Muslims residing in Kuwait and it is registered with the Indian Embassy and Alhamdulillah, we have maintained a very good rapport by coming up to contribute at any national or international calamity. It has always conducted programs that bring people together and serve not only Muslims but all the communities living in Kuwait.
