Welcome to the Village India & Experience Gujarat website.
Celebrating 50 Years of Gujarat and the vibrant culture of India & the UK
‘An event for the realization of mutual cultural greatness’
We would like to give thanks for the fantastic partnership and support of the Gujarat Government, their Vibrant Gujarat campaign and to the honourable Chief Minister Narendra Modi whose commitment and vision for the future of Gujarat has been lent to our event.
We are also proud to be part of the Gujarat Government’s Golden Jubilee Celebrations marking 50 years of Gujarat (Swarnim Gujarat).
Village India and Experience Gujarat will be held in Leicester's prime venue, De Montfort Hall and Gardens 10th-13th September 2009. De Montfort Hall with its excellent auditorium and Gardens provides a fantastic setting for this truly unique event.
The venue has become famous for its well attended outdoor festivals like the Big Session and Summer Sundae Weekender and now Village India and Experience Gujarat are set to follow in their highly successful footsteps.
