About Regional Pravasi Bhartiya Divas (Overseas Indians Day)
Regional Pravasi Bharatiya Divas are organised by the
Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs with the collaboration of the host
Government, the Indian Mission, Prominent Overseas Indians and Organisations
catering to the needs of the Indian Diaspora.
The objective is to reach out to those members of the
community who have been unable to participate in the annual PBD in India and to
