The 9th edition of the annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention will be held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, from 7-9 January 2011.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will inaugurate this annual flagship event of the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs on January 8, 2011 and the President will deliver the valedictory address on January 9, 2011, when she will also confer the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman awards on some distinguished PIOs/NRIs selected by a Jury-cum-Award Committee headed by the Vice President.
The focus of PBD 2011 will be on ‘Young Overseas Indian.’ In an endeavour to connect with and engage the younger generation of the overseas Indians with emerging India, a plenary session on “Engaging with the young overseas Indian” is being organised.
The special feature of PBD-2011 is participation of Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region and eight North Eastern States as partners. There will be a plenary session for the Chief Ministers of North Eastern States.
This would provide the Diaspora with an opportunity to understand the tremendous potential of this beautiful part of India. Two pre-conference seminars on ‘Education’ and ‘Health Care’ are proposed, that would offer new opportunities to the Diaspora to participate in these sectors in India.
The parallel session on “Celebrating the Global Indian” will have a panel of prominent overseas Indian community leaders, who would attempt to voice the aspirations and expectations of our vast overseas community, estimated at over 25 million, from the land of their ancestors and from the Government and people of India.
Details of the event as well as registration are available at www.pbdindia.org.
