I am Dinesh Shonchhatra, the newly elected President of LCNL with responsibilities to lead and serve the community for the next two years.

I feel deeply honoured and privileged to take the President’s post which has always been a dream for me.

My seva with the Lohana community started some 40 years ago when I Joined the West London Lohana community as a committee member. I later moved on to North London, serving in the LCNL for the past 10 years. I have never looked back and have enjoyed every moment of my time serving in various roles including as Vice President, Navratri Conveyor, Diwali Magazine Conveyor and RCT Trustee. Over the years I have been able to work alongside some wonderful people who gave up their time to serve our brilliant community; they have my admiration and respect.

I am a proud father of 3 boys and run my own business which is also like my child too. I am a firm believer that with hard work, focus and dedication we can achieve so much individually – BUT TOGETHER – we are unstoppable.

I will work hard for our community, at your service and under supervision of a team that are driven to the success of our community.

Those that know me will always say I am approachable and friendly, I would very much like to think so too – so I encourage you to introduce yourself at any occasion – I look forward to meeting you all over the next few years.

Yours in Seva

Dinesh Shonchhatra
LCNL President 2021-2023
