Pravasi Bhartiya Divas 2007 – NRIs Annual Event

Though our NRI
friends stay across seven seas but they have been preserving the
Indian element among themselves. Evidence that they are rooted
to their motherland comes from the fact that they take great pride
in witnessing grand jamboree that offers them a golden opportunity
to renew their links with their motherland.

So, you guessed it correct!!! This is about the great event called
Pravasi
Bhartiya Divas.

Celebrated every year in the month of January, Pravasi Bharatiya
Divas is an annual affair organized to honor the accomplishments
brought by the Indian
overseas community to India. 7th January’2007 will mark
the gala of the fifth Pravasi Bharatiya Divas. This three day
affair will be held in Lutyen’s Delhi.

The occasion will be graced by the presence of several known
political leaders, social activists, writers, novelists, painters,
actors who will foster an understanding of the sentiments of the
Indian
Diaspora.

It is expected that up to 2,000 NRIs from across the world will
attend the Pravasi Bhartiya Divas to provide new dimension to
the great get-together. This is the event which provides
NRIs with the prospects to voice their views on the different
concerning topics than merely listen to what the Indian leaders
and captains of industry have to tell them. All this would take
place in plenary discussions.

Approaching Pravasi Bharatiya Divas will have a serious theme
to discuss: Rooting for the Roots – Meeting India’s Development
Challenges. Associated themes are: How to get US $1.5 Trillion
of Capital Investment, The Resource Hurdle for Development and
Leveraging Technology for Development, NRI
investment in India.

Delegates of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas get a chance to increase
their familiarity with the unknown facets about India, the country
of legends. This year, Indian realty sector seems to be the hot
topic of discussion. Driven by positive growth in the economy,
real estate
in India is booming owing to the country’s high economic
growth in the last five years. Also, this industry is continuously
grabbing the attention of Indian population living abroad that
is fuelling the real estate market in India by making large investments.

On a wild bull run, Indian
stock market is climbing to new records every few months. Its
foreign exchange reserves have crossed $160 billion. The list of
Indian billionaires keeps getting longer and longer. Apart from
the designer apparels, luxurious lifestyle, the song and dance,
tantalizing delicacies for taste buds, these concerns of progress
as well as poverty will emerge time and again for discussion.
