The History, Significance, Quotations, and Best Wishes to Share on NRI Day of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2024
PRAVASI BHARATIYA DIVAS 2024: On January 9 of each year, India observes Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, also known as NRI Day, to honor and acknowledge the priceless contributions made by the Indian diaspora worldwide. This day honors the accomplishments of Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who have greatly benefited their adoptive nations while continuing to value their Indian ancestry.
It’s also a day to honor the diverse and large Indian diaspora, recognize their accomplishments, and strengthen the ties that bind them to their homeland. It serves as a reminder that the Indian spirit is still very much alive and well in the world and that its contributions will continue to improve everyone’s future.
HISTORY OF PRAVASI BHARATIYA DIVAS
The date, January 9, 1915, is significant in history because it represents Mahatma Gandhi’s return to India from South Africa. After his return, Gandhi—a Pravasi Bharatiya himself—led the Indian independence struggle and motivated countless others to fight for the freedom of their own country.
Since its first Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in 2003, the event has grown to serve as a forum for reuniting the Indian diaspora with their heritage and promoting their ongoing involvement in India’s development.
