Founded in 1972 by a group of passionate individuals from the Indian community in Nanuet, NY, the India Cultural Society of Rockland has evolved into a vital non-profit organization representing the interests and cultural heritage of over 500 families across the region. What began as an informal gathering has grown into a well-established organization under the visionary leadership of Late Dr. Rajavaidya, M.D., and continues to thrive through the dedication of enthusiastic volunteers. ICSR's heart lies in its commitment to keeping the torch of Indian culture alive in the tri-state area, bridging generational and cultural divides through meaningful community connections. The organization brings together people of all ages through carefully curated programs celebrating Indian traditions, from classical arts and music to cultural festivals and heritage discussions. Beyond cultural celebrations, ICSR demonstrates its values through community service initiatives including health fairs and charitable drives, reflecting a holistic approach to community care. The organization's governing body comprises 19 dedicated officers and a dynamic Youth Wing, creating a multi-generational community where members can contribute their talents and grow as leaders. ICSR serves as more than just a cultural organization—it's a gathering place where Indian Americans in Nanuet and surrounding areas strengthen their sense of belonging, share their heritage with the broader community, and build lasting friendships. Whether you're seeking cultural connection, community involvement, or ways to pass Indian traditions to the next generation, ICSR welcomes you to join its growing family.
