Fly a Flag for the Commonwealth: A Project of The Virdee Foundation
Fly a Flag for the Commonwealth: A Project of The Virdee Foundation - 10th March 2014
 |
Eric Pickles is today proudly flying the Commonwealth Flag outside his department to mark Commonwealth Day. The Communities Secretary said the centenary of the First World War meant it is even more important than usual this year to honour the sacrifices of soldiers from Commonwealth countries, with a new series of lectures on their contribution receiving a remarkable response from young people. New figures show that the Curzon Institute lectures on the Commonwealth contribution to World War One have been a huge success. More than 3,500 students have attended 29 lectures with 30 more in the pipeline. This year the UK also hosts the twentieth edition of the Commonwealth Games, which the Minister said would be another opportunity to celebrate the success of our historic partnership and its enduring influence on our country. The Department for Communities and Local Government is taking part in Fly a Flag for the Commonwealth, in conjunction with the Virdee Foundation to celebrate the historic family of nations. This is expected to be the largest, mass single raising of the flag in the association’s history with over 500 Flags expected to be raised by local authorities and community groups across the country. At the raising of the flag, where he was joined by Local Government Minister Brandon Lewis, the Secretary of State said it was the perfect time to be reminding people of the Commonwealth’s importance to our country. “The Commonwealth is a huge part of our heritage which unites all corners of our country and all of our communities,” Eric Pickles said. “This year it is even more appropriate to pay tribute to the sacrifices made by soldiers from across the Commonwealth in World War One. Commonwealth Day is one of a number of ways we are marking that contribution. “We can all celebrate the Commonwealth’s success in bringing us together around our common history and its flag is an important symbol of that, just as the Glasgow Games will be in the summer.” Faith and Communities Minister and Senior Minister of State at the Foreign & Commonwealth OfficeBaroness Warsi said: “I am proud to support Commonwealth Day and glad that the Commonwealth contribution lectures are receiving such a positive response. These talks are a great chance to educate a new generation in the sacrifices made by our great grandparents from across the globe, whether they be Tariques or Tommies.

IES Seminar, New Delhi

| Peter Virdee Guest of Honour at IES Seminar, New Delhi |
In its never ending quest to discuss and strengthen various facets of the economic development of our country, Institute of Economic Studies (IES), organised a seminar on Indo-UK Economic Cooperation.The agenda of the seminar was to assess the Indo-UK relationship vis-à-vis bilateral trade and investment and discuss various strategies to further enhance it. India and the UK today share a very strong and deep relationship, which is formed on broad spectrum ofmutual interests. The UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s two visits to India since 2010 bear testimony to the fact. UK continues to be among India’s major trading partners.
In the field of investment, UK maintained its position as India's third largest FDI investor country, while India was the fifth largest investor in the UK in 2012. About 700 Indian companies have operations in the UK, with The Tata group being the largest private sector employer in the UK. With the joint statement on the India-UK Summit 2013 envisaging a stronger, wider and deeper partnership between the two countries vis-à-vis facilitation of trade and investment, infrastructure, healthcare, education, research, skills and training, exchange of information for tax matters and strategic and security issues, IES brought forth through this seminar a non-partisan, solution-oriented research and racial equity lens on issues being debated on both sides of the turf.Presenting the vote of thanks, Virender Singh, Executive Director, IES said, “India-UK Trade and Economic Relations has always been an important topic of discussion for both sides. As a responsible industry spokesperson keeping a bird’s eye view on Indian economy, IES has conducted this seminar to provide evidence-based information andbuild a platform for our members to assess the present situation of Indo-UK relations.”
The seminar was inaugurated by Sekhar Dutt, Governor of Chhattisgarh. Bhisma Narayan Singh, former Governor of Tamil Nadu along with Peter Virdee, Partner, B & S Property UK, were the guests of honour for the evening.

Peter Virdee Backs Asian Star Working In Partnership With Chelsea FC
PETER VIRDEE BACKS ASIAN STAR
Peter Virdee, one of the country's
leading businessmen and philanthropists, has added his support to Chelsea
Football Club's ground-breaking Asian Star project.
As an ambassador for Sporting Equals, Virdee acknowledged the great work the Asian Star programme undertakes to combat low participation levels of British Asians in football.
Since Chelsea FC launched the initiative in 2009, more than 1400 young British Asians have taken part in the Asian Star programme and five previous winners have gone on to represent professional club academies.
This year, Chelsea FC has teamed up with Sporting Equals to help create the best Asian Star event yet. Sporting Equals is an organisation that works to promote the inclusion of under-represented communities in sport and physical activity.
I am extremely delighted to be supporting this year's Asian Star campaign alongside Sporting Equals and Chelsea FC,' said Virdee. 'Initiatives like Asian Star is a positive step in the right direction in highlighting exciting times ahead and more importantly that football is open to the Asian community.'
Over the years, he has supported a number of charities, including The Prince's Trust, Mencap, British Red Cross, Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Jaralam Trust as well as the Tsunami disaster relief fund.
He is also the first Sikh patron on the board of the English National Opera and sits on the UK philanthropy board of Coutts & Co Private Bank UK. In recent times he has been invited to St James' Palace to meet the Queen and was part of a select Sikh Delegation to welcome HRH The Prince of Wales at the Indian war memorial in Neuve-Chapelle in France.
