On 15th March 2025, the Indian Embassy in Paris, with support from L’Association Frehindi, successfully organized Lyon’s first-ever Consular Camp at Novotel Centre Confluence. This landmark initiative brought essential services—such as passport renewals, OCI applications, and document attestations—directly to the Indian diaspora in the region, eliminating the need for a costly and time-consuming trip to Paris. Over 70 individuals benefitted from this one-day camp.

L’association Frehindi, led by President, Mr. Haru Mehra, played a key role in supporting the smooth execution and mobility of the event by coordinating logistics and mobilizing over 15 trained volunteers. The trained team of th  e volunteers ensured seamless operations from 10 AM to 5 PM, with extended service hours to accommodate last-minute attendees. The event concluded with a heartfelt group photo and inspiring message of unity from Mr. Karjee and a group photo celebrating the collaborative spirit. This milestone marks a strong step forward in making consular services more accessible across France.

L’Association Frehindi is proud to have supported this meaningful initiative, helping bridge the gap between the embassy and the Indian community in Lyon.

We look forward to more such impactful collaborations that make a real difference in the lives of our community members.
