Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is celebrated every year on 9th January to take pride in the contribution of the Indian Diaspora in the development of the country. This time on 9th January 2023, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is going to be organised on the land of Madhya Pradesh in Indore, which is a matter of pride and good fortune for the entire state. Indore, the cleanest city of the country, is eager to welcome all the Non Resident Indians. Entire Madhya Pradesh including Indore has got a golden opportunity for hospitality. Madhya Pradesh is the heart of the country and Indore is eager to win the hearts of all the guests with its hospitality and culture.
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas was first celebrated in the year 2003. On January 9 of the year 1915, Mahatma Gandhi had returned home from South Africa. The main purpose of organising the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention is also to bring the achievements of the overseas Indian community to the world so that the world can realise their strength. The contribution of the Indian Diaspora in the development of the country is unforgettable. Since 2015, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is being celebrated in the country once every two years.
The network of NRIs spread across the world
The decision to celebrate Pravasi Bharatiya Divas was taken as per the recommendations of the High Level Committee on Indian Diaspora set up by the Government of India under the chairmanship of LM Singhvi. The then Prime Minister of India Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee announced the celebration of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas on a large scale on 9 January 2002 at a public function at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on 8 January 2002. This event has worked to change the viewpoint of NRIs towards India in the true sense. Also, it has provided an opportunity to the overseas Indians to connect with the countrymen. Through this, it has also helped in creating a large network of NRIs spread across the world, which has also given a boost to the Indian economy. While the young generation of our country has also been helped to connect with the immigrants settled abroad through this, cooperation is available in increasing the investment opportunities in the country through the migrants living abroad.
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s role in connecting migrants with the country is noteworthy
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s role in connecting the overseas Indian community with India has been remarkable. During his foreign trips he puts forward a distinct identity of India among the overseas Indians of any country he visits. This gives the migrant Indians a sense of belonging and attracts them towards India. India tops the list in terms of the number of migrants going abroad in the world. The Government of India is working with readiness to convert ‘brain-drain’ into ‘brain-gain’. The government is trying to connect them with the roots of their country for discovering economic opportunities. The enthusiasm with which the expatriates gather around Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s address proves that the non-residents look at the leadership of the Prime Minister with great hope and have high expectations from him. The Indian Diaspora is spread across the globe. Today people of Indian origin are living in many countries of the world who are engaged in various activities. If mutual coordination and trust between the Government of India and the overseas Indians can increase further, it will be beneficial for both. Overseas Indians are also with us in the development journey of India.
