The resounding support from various communities heralded the formation of “Narpani Peravai” in 1988; an umbrella group that promotes educational, cultural, welfare and social activities for the Indian community. It also provided a platform for the representation of Indians and their views to the government. Upon the request from the authorities, Ma Govindarasu took up the challenge to ‘captain’ “Narpani Peravai” on its maiden journey. His biggest challenge came when Singapore turned 25yrs old in 1990. Narpani Peravai was tasked to lead the celebration showcasing the Indian community. This created such a buzz that it has raised the bar for the 50th year celebration as well.
