00:00We should make similar efforts with the diasporas that have gone to different countries.

00:14For example, our Girmitiya brothers and sisters.

00:22Why don't we create a database of our Girmitiya brothers and sisters?

00:30So that we can identify the villages and cities they have gone to in India.

00:39So that we can identify the places where they have gone to live.

00:47How was their life?

00:50What challenges did they face?

00:53What opportunities did they get?

00:56To bring all this to light,

01:00films can be made,

01:02documentaries can be made.

01:06To study the Girmitiya legacy,

01:10to do research on it,

01:13chairs can be set up in universities.

01:20At regular intervals,

01:24a World Girmitiya Conference can be held.

01:29I will ask my team to work on advancing this.

01:41Friends,

01:43today's India is developing and inheriting this mantra.

01:53During G20, we held meetings in every corner of the country

02:02so that the world can experience India's diversity firsthand.

02:10We are very proud to organize the Kashi Tamil Sangham,

02:16the Kashi Telugu Sangham,

02:19and the Saurashtra Tamil Sangham.

02:24A few days later,

02:27on St. Thiruvalluvar Day,

02:30our government has decided to set up Thiruvalluvar Culture Centres.

02:42In Singapore, the first such centre has been set up.

02:50Thiruvalluvar chairs are also being set up at Houston University in America.

02:59All these efforts are taking the Tamil language,

03:04the Tamil heritage,

03:07and the heritage of India to every corner of the world.

03:16Friends,

03:18we have taken many steps to connect our places with the heritage of India.

03:31For example,

03:33there is a special Ramayan Express train to visit places associated with Lord Ram and Sita.

03:45The Bharat Gaurav train also connects the country's important heritage places.

03:54We have also connected the country's major heritage centres with our semi-high-speed Vande Bharat train.

04:04A while ago, I had the opportunity to start a special Indian Express train.

04:13About 150 people will take a tour of 17 destinations associated with tourism and culture.

04:25There are many places in Odisha where you should definitely visit.

04:34In Prayagraj, the Mahakumbh festival is about to begin.

04:39This is a rare opportunity in life.

04:44You should definitely visit there.

04:47Friends, India gained independence in 1947.

04:54Our diaspora also played a major role in this.
