The Connection With the Indian Diaspora.
The Indian Diaspora constitutes significantly to the economic, social and cultural force in the world today. The overseas Indians are a few millions who are spread across the world. Their industry, enterprise, education, expertise and economic achievements are widely recognized and appreciated. Such people contribute immensely to our country’s growth and development in various spheres.
The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is celebrated on January 9 every year to mark the contribution of overseas Indian community in the growth and development of India. January 9 was chosen as the day to celebrate this occasion since it was on this day in 1915 where Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest Pravasi, returned to India from South Africa, led India’s freedom struggle when it was the call of the time. The PBD convention was held every year since 2003 till 2015. Now it is held once in every two years. These conventions provide a platform to the overseas Indian community to interact with the government and people of their motherland for mutually beneficial activities. These conventions are extremely useful in forming a networking among the overseas Indian community residing in various parts of the world and enabling them to share their experiences in various fields. Many of them are honoured with the prestigious Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award to recognize their exceptional contribution in India’s growth. The event also provides a forum for discussing key issues concerning the Indian Diaspora.
