Welcome to Kashmiri Overseas Association of Canada

The Kashmiri Overseas Association Canada(KOAC) is a Canada based socio-cultural organization primarily focused on uniting the entire Kashmiri Pandit diaspora in Canada and providing a platform for social and cultural meets for the community members. We are the association of all people who hail from Kashmir.

 KOAC provides a platform to all displaced Kashmiri Pandits residing in Canada to meet, network and establish a support system. It also provides an outlet for the continuation of their cultural heritage and integration with other displaced and migrated Kashmiri Pandits still living in India or elsewhere.

Come, let us pray that peace returns to the land of Shiva, of Shankaracharya, of Lalla Ded and of Reshipeer.

Asi chhu Tarun Kasheer - Kashmiri Pandits shall return to their Kashmir.

Jai Ma'j Kasheer!

Jai Ma Sharika!
