PBD 2017 to be a game changer |
It was a pleasure and a privilege to be invited to Delhi 23 Aug 2016 for the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas (PBD) Panel Discussion 7 with India`s Honourable Minister of External Affairs Smt. Sushma Swaraj and Honourable Minister of State for External Affairs Gen (Retd) V K Singh on the history, migration and achievements of Indian Diaspora in PIO Countries. My three suggestions were highlighted by the Secretary and especially Hon. Minister Sushmaji which gives us immense hope and faith in the government taking a policy view on enhancing the partnership with PIOs, besides NRIs. Higher education for the PIO youth through special scholarships, exchanges with PIO faculties in academic institutions of repute in their countries, and furthering trade, commerce and business connect between the Diaspora and India through a wonderful Organization, the PIO Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PIOCCI). PBD 2017 promises to be a game changer by the Modi government.
