Rampar Community (UK) was informally established in 1975 by a handful of committed, hardworking and enthusiastic Rampar gaam ex-pats. They were keen to ensure people who had ancestral roots to Rampar gaam in India remained in regular contact whilst living in the UK by maintaining community and cultural values.
Over the last 40 years Rampar Community has seen an immense growth in size and has flourished in its cultural understanding and UK presence. The next generation of our community members have excelled in education, individuals have successfully secured professional jobs and many have established their own businesses. A great contrast to our founding fathers and mothers who were hard serving tradesmen and women, carpenters, builders and working in mills, factories etc.
Currently we have approximately 210 members. Attendance at our annual summer function is around 400 people which includes members and their families.
We hope to continue building the strong community links in the UK, whilst remembering our heritage and ancestral roots as well as maintaining our cultural values.
We also recognise that we have a responsibility to the wider community that we live in and the need to be socially responsible to issues that affect society today, for example environmental issues, mental health, homelessness and social inequality.
We hope that future generations continue to become members of Rampar Community (UK) and harness the efforts of our forefathers initiatives. Together we can bring in new ideas whilst still remembering our roots back to Rampar Gaam, Kutch India.
