Dr. Nirmal Mattoo was honored with Lifetime Achievement Award at The Association of Indians In America’s (AIA) Annual Medical Council Awards gala in Cipriani, New York. The annual awards gala was held on May 3, 2025. AIA is the oldest and largest Indian organization in USA taking up the social welfare of Indians in United States, and to help them become a part of the mainstream of American life.
In a glittering ceremony, four young doctors were also honored at the gala dinner attended by more than 300 guests. AIA is headed by Mr. Gobind Munjal. Mr. Munjal, also spearheaded the oldest and largest New York chapter in the past which was the prime force behind the oldest Diwali celebration in USA and was one of the highest donors of medical supplies to India during Covid-19.
AIA is the grassroot National Organization of Asian Immigrants in the United States, fostered on the democratic principles of “one member one vote”, with chapters and membership spread across the United States of America. AIA represents the hopes and aspirations of those immigrants who are united by their common bond of “Indian Heritage and American Commitment.”
Highly deserved. My heartfelt congratulations to Dr Mattoo and family.
