The tenth edition of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) Convention will be held in Jaipur from January 7 - 9, 2012. The Hon. Prime Minister will inaugurate this flagship event of the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) on January 8 and the Hon. President will deliver the valedictory address on January 9, 2012.
In the forthcoming PBD, discussions relating to development issues such as health, education, youth and inclusive growth etc., will take place. We are expecting enthusiastic participation from the diverse overseas Indian community spread across the globe.
Our effort is to have a meaningful and interactive event that would address issues and concerns of the overseas Indian community. Overseas Indians have emerged as important constituents of their adopted countries. They have contributed to transforming the economies, participating in political process and added value to thought and innovation of their destination countries. They also serve to build bridges between their present homeland and the land of their ancestors.
PBD 2012 is being conducted in partnership with the Government of Rajasthan and Confederation of Indian Industry as Institutional Partner.
All interested to participate in the event may kindly contact Director (DS), Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, New Delhi on email: dirds@moia.nic.in with a copy to Minister (Coordination) High Commission of India, London at email: min.coord@hcilondon.in
