Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas Sammelan |
The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) to be held in Varanasi between January 21 and 23 will cap the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s outreach to the overseas Indian community and will be the last major diplomatic exercise before the next general election. The Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas Sammelan, beginning on Jan 21 in Varanasi will be focusing on connecting new generation of Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) with their home country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Sammelan and on the same evening, film actor and BJP MP Hema Malini will perform Gangavataran on the bank of Ganga River. The three-day event will kick off with a special day-long programme on January 21 in Varanasi to give a glimpse of our rich heritage to the younger generation settled abroad. At least 7,000 people have registered for the event. The chief guest is Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth of Mauritius – the first person to be accorded with this honour, who also has his roots in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh in which the PBD is being organized.
