00:00The Prabhasi Bharatiya Diwas, as I mentioned, is one of the most important schemes of the

00:06Ministry of External Affairs and the Government of India.

00:10Our basic objective through this program is to provide a platform to the global Indian

00:15diaspora to engage themselves and to do and meet the leadership in this process.

00:26So this event, as I mentioned, takes place once every two years.

00:32Two years back, we were in Madhya Pradesh in partnership with the state government hosting

00:37the event in Indore.

00:38Two years down the line, we are now in Odisha in Bhubaneswar hosting this event.

00:45It is one of the largest events of the Diaspora Connect.

00:50As you are very much aware, diaspora engagement is one of the most important objectives of

00:56the Ministry of External Affairs.

00:58Our Honorable Prime Minister, whenever he has visited any country abroad, diaspora

01:03engagement has been one of his major events that takes place.

01:14Just to add to what my colleague has mentioned, the diaspora contribution to India's global

01:22growth story has been very significant.

01:26This diaspora can also, from the state's perspective, play a very major role in Odisha's

01:32development.

01:33Just the fact that if so many delegates are coming, if they carry back good experiences

01:39from Odisha, then they become our ambassadors.

01:42Honorable Prime Minister has announced a scheme, Chalo India, where essentially he says every

01:46one Indian can then bring back five more visitors to Odisha.

01:51So when we in Odisha are thinking about playing a very significant role in the Vixit Bharat

01:582047 vision, we will also be able to perform that role at a global stage.

02:04Be it in terms of tourist attractions, be it in terms of exposing people to our art,

02:12culture, sculpture, traditions, history, and also in terms of business environment as he

02:19mentioned.

02:20As the number of delegates is very large and coming from all over the country.

02:26Somebody asked a small question about the virus and all that.

02:30We can please rest assured that we are going strictly as per the Government of India guidelines

02:35in that matter and taking as and when necessary steps are to be taken.

02:39At that stage, whatever is the requirement has been adequately taken care of.
