Celebrating 18 editions of our Divali magazine

Divali festival souvenir magazine 2018

Indo-Caribbean Cultural Centre Co. Ltd. (ICC) is pleased to announce the publication of its latest souvenir magazine for Divali 2018 in Trinidad and Tobago. The theme of this edition of its free hard copy and digital edition of its annual magazine is “Celebrating 18 editions of our Divali magazine.”

The inaugural issue of our Divali magazine began in 2000 and is still running strong after 18 continuous editions. The quality of the other Divali magazine that has survived cannot be compared to the distinction of the content and appearance of our annual publication. Printed in full colour on glossy paper, the cutting edge of our special-interest magazine lies in its visual and intellectual strength.

The production of our magazine is a non-profit educational activity done as a national public service. Our small editorial team is dedicated to providing a professional service to the world.
