1MISM to launch outreach programme in Chennai

PETALING JAYA: The 1Malaysia Indian Student Movement (1MISM) is looking to expand its global outreach programme by launching its movement in Chennai, India.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Depart-ment Datuk Seri G. Palanivel, who is also MIC president, will be the main guest at the launch tomorrow.

Launched in 2011 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, 1MISM was established to protect the rights and welfare of Indian university students.

It is also a platform for its members to engage in various initiatives such as professional development, cultural and poli- tical awareness as well as community services.

Two months ago, the 1MISM Global Outreach Programme launched its international wing in Indonesia.

Its aim is to function as a one-stop centre to disseminate information on the Govern-ment's Transformation Plan.

The outreach programme also seeks to promote unity and patriotism among Malay-sian Indian students abroad.
