Indira Laisram to research and write stories on Indian migrants and the diaspora in Victoria
Indira Laisram, a contributor for The Indian Sun, has been awarded the prestigious Judith Neilson Institute grant to cover stories on Indian migrants in Victoria.
Laisram, a media professional with a double Master’s degree (English from NEHU, India, and Social Policy from the University of Melbourne), has more than 20 years’ experience in writing and editing at print, news agency and online media outlets in India and Australia. She started her career with The Press Trust of India and also worked for The Times of India and BusinessWorld magazine, Delhi.
In Australia, she has been writing stories for community magazines and is currently a contributor of The Indian Sun, one of the leading diverse cutting-edge media platforms in Australia focused on the Indian community.
Laisram will use the grant to research and write stories on a range of topics covering Indian migrants and the diaspora in Victoria.
The Judith Neilson Institute supports and celebrates quality journalism and storytelling around the world. Their grants and education programs equip journalists with the resources they need to produce outstanding work.
The ABC, The Guardian and SMH were among the recipients of the first Judith Neilson Institute journalism grants in 2018 to help further quality journalism.
In an age of shrinking newsroom budgets worldwide, philanthropic support such as those provided by the Judith Neilson Institute is a boost for ambitious storytelling.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
