Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF)

ICWF was set up in 2009 to assist overseas Indian nationals in times of distress and emergency in the ”most deserving cases” on a ”means tested basis”. In 2017, the Indian government decentralised the decision-making process empowering embassies and consulates to disburse funds that are managed by the Ambassador and Diaspora Counsellor within each Embassy.
