The Embassy of India in Kuwait during an event on September 29 at the embassy premises announced the ‘Next Destination Indore’ the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) 2023 which is scheduled to be held in Indore on January 9, 2023 and a state felicitation event on Madhya Pradesh to promote the 3Ts engagement in collaboration with Invest India. This event comes on the heels of the Namaste Kuwait, a mega Indian cultural event which showcased some of India’s best dance performances by more than one thousand artistes spanning over 14 hours of over 120 performances.
Speaking at the event, the Ambassador of India to Kuwait, Sibi George signed off the launch of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2023 campaign which is celebrated every year on January 9 to mark the contribution of the overseas Indian community to the development of India. It also commemorates the return of the greatest Indian Pravasi of all times, Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to India on January 9, 1915. Since 2015, its format has been revised to celebrate PBD once every two years and to hold theme-based Pravasi Bhartiya Divas Conferences during the intervening period with participation from overseas Diaspora experts, policymakers, and stakeholders.
“I am sure that our talented and experienced Diaspora in Kuwait can contribute immensely in each of these sessions. I invite our Indian community in Kuwait to plan a visit to Indore in January.”
