00:00When people leave their homeland and go abroad to work in different sectors,

00:07we get the recognition of that in our own country, in our own homeland.

00:11And there is nothing more to be happy about than this.

00:14Nothing else can be done.

00:15And I would like to thank the Indian government, the state government,

00:19and our Indian embassy in Spain.

00:22I am very happy that you have been given this award for your contribution to the development of India and other countries.

00:31Sorry, can you repeat?

00:33The award that you have been given today, what was the focus?

00:39The social work that I do there, that is why I have been given this award.

00:44You are happy on that?

00:46I am very happy. There is nothing more to be said. Thank you.

00:52You have been awarded this award and you have won it. How do you feel?

00:57I am very happy.

00:59It is a very fortunate thing to be able to help Indians abroad.

01:06I am very happy.

01:08We did not sleep for two or three days to receive people.

01:14One more thing. Today you have conferred the title of President. How do you feel?

01:23This is a great honor and we are very grateful for this recognition that has been given to our country and our people.

01:30And especially we are happy to have received it from the hands of Her Excellency the President herself.

01:36So how do you think about that? How will it be?

01:42Yes, it will be inspiring to our people because it will help us to build upon whatever cultural contacts there are.

01:55And we hope to expand the relationship between our two countries so that we can benefit culturally.

02:02And the title of this award is the vision of Rice Coral Company.

02:10Well, as the Prime Minister has said in his speech and as the President herself has said,

02:19that if the overseas Indians are strong, then Bharat also becomes strong.

02:27How do you feel about the hospitality in Odisha?

02:31Hospitality is wonderful, without any doubt. I would like to come back again.

02:35What is your vision?

02:40Well, I am heading back but I am looking forward to working with various authorities in India

02:48in boosting the cultural contact and cultural relationships.

02:52That is our most important goal.

02:55Thank you very much indeed.

03:02How do you feel?

03:04Oh, I am really very deeply honoured and I am overjoyed to receive this 18th Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award

03:13from the President of the Republic of India.

03:16And I am grateful to the Government of India for recognising my contribution in building bridges between India and Mauritius.

03:25You are now in Odisha. How are you?

03:29Oh, I am very happy. I am delighted. I have seen quite a few parts of Odisha. I have heard about it.

03:36It is the hidden secret of India and I think I must encourage Mauritians to come and visit Odisha

03:43because we have people of Odisha origin in Mauritius too.

03:47And people used to speak the Oriya language.

03:59Congratulations sister. I was in your gala session.

04:13How do you see this award?

04:18I see this award with great respect and with great value.

04:25I see that this award will inspire many people.

04:29If we keep moving forward in our lives, without getting stuck in any obstacles,

04:37then there comes a time when you become the recipient of this award.

04:42This is what I have experienced.

04:44I had never thought about this.

04:46But this kept going on in my work and it kept happening.

04:51I am very thankful to the Indian government, the Prime Minister and the President.
