00:30well we have just completed the 18th pravasibhatiya devas convention and you know I have myself

00:56attended many of them, some as minister, some as secretary, some as ambassador and I must

01:05tell you I felt that this time in many ways it was a very good PPT, it was very well organized,

01:14the feedback from the pravasis was very good, the sense we got from our partner which is

01:21state government of Odisha was again something which was very appreciative, they felt okay this

01:29was a forum, people came, it allowed them to present the state in a way and if I myself took

01:38the you know the larger purpose of what the PPT event is about, it is a kind of a gathering,

01:48you are trying to bring people from different parts of the world all together, there is a

01:55certain in fact I would say almost intermixture between them, interaction between them that was

02:03very very lively and you saw you know there were four exhibitions, one presenting Odisha state,

02:14one on how actually the epic of Ramayana has played out in different countries,

02:22one on the maritime movement of the diaspora particularly from the western coast to Amman

02:30but other parts to Trinidad to Bago to Mauritius etc and there was one on the contribution which

02:36PIOs and NRIs had made, so I felt look the exhibitions were well done, the gathering

02:45was lively, the panels were you know quite active, I think you saw I attended one of them most of the

02:52time I was meeting individual delegates or in groups but I felt that the Nari Shakti one I

02:57attended was you know I saw a lot of people, lot of interest, so I think there is a sort of good

03:06cause to be satisfied about it but having said that you know we always improve with every event,

03:14we take feedback, we ask people where we fell short, we ask people what they think you know

03:22they could do better, so it's a kind of know your customer, seek your customer kind of endeavor.
