President of Sydney GOPIO Bhupinder Chhibber says that GYAAN 2014, the GOPIO awards event that recognizes local students who’ve performed well at their HSC exams, will be the one of the biggest events of the Indian community in Sydney this year. GYAAN 2014, to be held at Castle Hill, 1-17 Castle St, 9 February, is expected to have over 400 families at the venue.
Gyan 2014 will also award youth for their talents and achievements in the arts (music, drama, dance, photography and visual arts) and community services.
This year, Chhibber says, GYAAN is being held a month earlier as the organisers feel that students are usually preoccupied with university admissions and other academic plans in March. Chhibber also says that he is trying to persuade other community associations to come under the GOPIO umbrella to have a joint awards event for students and other young achievers. Chhibber says that he feels optimistic about getting the support of United Indian Associations Inc. on this matter.
Chhibber adds that GYAAN 2014 will move away from Bollywood and instead have kathakali, kuchipudi and kathak performances.
