  • 02/10/2022

Kuwait City: The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2023, which is scheduled to take place in Indore on January 9, 2023, and a state felicitation event on Madhya Pradesh to promote the 3 Ts engagement in collaboration with Invest India were both announced by the Indian Embassy in Kuwait during an event on September 29 at the embassy's premises. This event follows the massive Indian cultural event Namaste Kuwait, which featured some of India's best dance performances by more than a thousand artists over the course of 14 hours and more than 120 performances. 


Speaking at the occasion, the Indian Ambassador to Kuwait, HE Sibi George, officially launched the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2023 campaign, which is observed annually on January 9 to recognise the contribution of the Indian diaspora to India's development. It also honours Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest Indian pravasi of all time, who returned to India from South Africa on January 9, 1915. Since 2015, its format has changed to celebrate PBD every two years and hold theme-based Pravasi Bhartiya Divas Conferences in between, with the participation of stakeholders, policymakers, and experts from the international diaspora. 

The 16th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, the Indian envoy said, was held during January 21-23 2019 at Varanasi. On January 9, 2023 the Indian diaspora across the globe will come together in Indore, one of the most beautiful cities of India. The theme of PBD 2023 is ‘Diaspora: Reliable Partners for India’s Progress in Amrit Kaal’. Five plenary sessions on (i) Role of Diaspora Youth in Innovation and New Technologies; (ii) Harnessing the potential of women Diaspora entrepreneurs towards an inclusive approach to nation building; (iii) Goodwill through craft, cuisine and creativity; (iv) Enabling Global Mobility of Indian Workforce – Role of Indian Diaspora: and (v) Trade and Investment. “I am sure,” the ambassador said, “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.” During the event, Ms Anchita Kethwas, Second Secretary, Commerce, Investment and Education gave a detailed presentation on Madhya Pradesh, singling out Indore which is ranked as ‘the cleanest city in India’ and the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh presenting a happy blend of historical past and promising rapid future modernization and investment facilities. 

The ambassador used the occasion to express his gratitude to those "who help us make history, our artistes, our coordinators and volunteers, and of course our ICSG team led by Rajpal Tyagi." He also expressed his gratitude to a few of the event organisers for "helping us make that historic journey in Kuwait."
