NRI K C Varghese, 56, Chairman of the Indian Cultural and Arts Society, (Incas) died in Doha on May 26, 2006. He had been cancer for the past six years. Varghese was the founder advisory council chairman of Incas, which was formed in 2001.

Varghese involved in philanthropic activities by helping the needy, like housemaids, workers and Indians placed in deportation centres. Varghese made efforts to organise food and other necessities for these people in their times of distres.
He was assistant advertising manager of Gulf Times and was writing articles and covering events for Malayala Manorama newspaper in Kerala.

THE Indian Cultural and Arts Society (Incas) will produce a souvenir in memory of the late K C Varghese. Incas president K K Usman said that the souvenir is to commemorate Varghese’s close involvement with various activities in the Indian community during his nearly three-decade stay in Qatar.

The society also decided to set up an education foundation in memory of Varghese. The society foundation would help to finance the education of select children who hail from poor non-resident Indian (NRI) families in the Gulf region.
Only those students pursuing education in professional colleges in Kerala would be eligible for assistance, said Usman.
The Incas chief said the society is also exploring the possibility of holding an annual volleyball tournament in which Indian expatriates from all six GCC States could take part.
