In 2020, Mr. Subhas and Mrs. Uttra Bhargava, ICCC Life members and prominent members of the Indo-Canadian community of Ottawa, were recognized by the Governor General of Canada with the award of the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, Governor-General of Canada.
The Governor General of Canada’s Meritorious Service Decorations (Civil Division) recognize great Canadians for exceptional deeds accomplished over a limited period of time that bring honour to Canada. They recognize remarkable contributions in many different fields of endeavour, from advocacy initiatives and health care services, to research and humanitarian efforts. This honour conferred on Mr. Subhas and Mrs. Uttra Bhargava is a matter of pride for the Indo-Canadian community.

This is great news not only for you and your family, but also for your friends, and the community at large is truly proud of your accomplishments.
