Bharatiya Divas 2021: Why do we observe Non-Resident Indian Day on Jan 9 every
year?
January
9th is celebrated as Pravasi Bharatiya Divas every year to highlight the
contribution of overseas diaspora in the development of the nation.
Pravasi
Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is observed on January 9th every year to mark the
contribution of the Overseas Indian community in the development of India. On
this day in 1915, Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest Pravasi, returned to India from
South Africa, which led India's freedom struggle and changed the lives of
Indians forever. Therefore, January 9 was selected as the day to celebrate this
occasion.
In
order to connect India with vast overseas diaspora and bring their knowledge,
expertise and skills on a common platform, the PBD Convention - the flagship
event of MOIA is organized from January 7th-9th every year since 2003.
Since
2003, PBD conventions are being held every year. Its format was revised in 2015
to celebrate the PBD once every two years and also to hold theme-based PBD
Conferences during the interim period with participation from overseas diaspora
experts, policymakers and stakeholders.
These
conventions serve as a platform for the overseas Indian community to engage
with the government and people of their ancestral land for mutually beneficial
activities. These conventions are a means of networking for the overseas Indian
community residing in various parts of the world for allowing them to share
their experiences in various fields.
This
year, the theme of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is "Contributing to
Aatmanirbhar Bharat". The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas event will be held
virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic. Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2021
Convention will consist of three segments and will be inaugurated by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi.
