About the federation

A bridge between Gujarat and Gujaratis everywhere

The Global Gujarati Federation was established in Ahmedabad in 2014 to bring together Gujaratis living beyond the borders of Gujarat, across India and around the world. More than 500 community organisations now represent Gujaratis through this network.

Overseas Gujaratis carry more than financial wealth. They hold global knowledge, professional expertise and hearts that continue to beat for Gujarat. The federation connects that capability with the development of Gujarat's villages, students, women and families who need it most.
