Desi Indian Students' Society (Desi for short!) was started in 2001 with the aim of representing South Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Nepalese etc etc) students on campus and to also cater for those who are interested in our culture. We are affiliated with the student guilds at UWA, Curtin, and recently Murdoch, and have student reps covering ECU and TAFE.
At Desi, our whole aim is to add some fun (Desi style) to the whole university experience. Events we organise include Bhangra Rivercruises, BBQs, Club Nights (RnB and also Bhangra/Desi), Sports Days, representation at ODays and multicultural week and so on. We have also brought and are bringing UK Asian legends like Bally Sagoo and Panjabi MC to UWA to meet our members. We also sell tickets to most South Asian/Indian club nights happening in Perth.
