Chopal Parivaar is a community-based not-for-profit organization created to bring people together through culture, celebrations, social connections, and shared values. It takes its name and spirit from the traditional idea of a chopal, a gathering place where people talk, celebrate, support each other, and connect.

Vijay Sharma co-founded Chopal Parivaar in 2020 in Brampton, Ontario alongside Ashok Sharma, on the belief that community isn’t just about meeting people, it’s about creating belonging. What started as a gathering space has grown into a warm, family-like community where members take part in cultural programs, social events, devotional gatherings, business networking, and active WhatsApp groups.
