Over 30 Indian-origin professionals recognised in the list released in London

LONDON: Community leaders, campaigners, academics and medics are among over 30 Indian-origin professionals to be recognised in King Charles’ 2025 New Year Honours List released in London in time for New Year’s Eve.

Ranil Malcolm Jayawardena, a Conservative member of Parliament of Sri Lankan and Indian heritage, has been conferred a Knighthood for political and public service along with recently resigned England men’s football team manager Gareth Southgate, for services to the game.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan and former West Midlands Mayor Andy Street are also among those receiving Knighthoods among more than 1,200 recipients on the 2025 honours list released on Monday night across all sectors, with particular commendation to role models in sport, healthcare, academia and voluntary service.

“Every day, ordinary people go out and do extraordinary things for their communities,” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said.
