It has always come to India\u2019s aid, whether it is for advocacy regarding international issues of concern to India, or contributing to the Indian economy by way of investments and remittances, said the President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind while addressing the valedictory session of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention today (January 9, 2021) on video conferencing. The President informed that on this very day in the year 1915, Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest Pravasi Bharatiya, returned to India. He gave a much huge base to our social reforms and freedom movement, and during the next 3 decades, he changed India in many fundamental ways. Before that, during his two decades of stay abroad, Bapu had found the basic principles underlying the approach India should adopt for its growth and development. The President said that the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is also an occasion to recall Gandhiji\u2019s ideals for individual and collective life. Gandhiji\u2019s emphasis on Indianness, nonviolence, ethics, simplicity and sustainable development remain our guiding principles, he added.<\/div>\n<p>The President also told that we are indebted to Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee whose vision reenergised the links with our diaspora. The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas celebrations started in 2003 when he was the Prime Minister of India. Atalji\u2019s initiatives have proved very helpful in strengthening the engagement of diaspora with the motherland.<\/p>\n<p>The President noted that India has one of the largest\u00a0diaspora populations of nearly 30 million,\u00a0residing\u00a0in every corner of the world today.\u00a0Addressing the Indian diaspora, the President said \u201cyou have spread the soft power of India and made your mark on the global stage. Your continued emotional attachment to India, its culture and traditions makes all of us very proud of you. You have been contributing to the growth and development of the countries of your residence and, at the same time, you have been carrying your Indianness in your hearts. This emotional bonding has also translated into tangible gains for India. You have expanded India\u2019s global embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the COVID, the President told that year 2020 has been the year of a global crisis due to the COVID 19. India has been at the forefront in forging a global response to combat the enormous challenges posed by the pandemic. We supplied medicines to nearly 150 countries, making the world look at India as the \u2018pharmacy of the world\u2019. The recent success of our scientists and technicians in developing 2 COVID vaccines is a major achievement for the Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan which is driven by the spirit of global well being.<\/p>\n<p>The President said that the seeds of an Aatma Nirbhar Bharat were sown many years ago by Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s call for Swadeshi and Self-reliance. Our vision of Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat has 5 key pillars of economy, infrastructure, demography, democracy and supply chains. Successful integration of all these factors will help achieve rapid growth and development. The President said that the idea of \u2018Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat\u2019 does not mean seeking selfcentered arrangements or turning the country inwards. It is about self-belief leading to self sufficiency. We intend to contribute towards mitigating disruptions in global supply chains by enhancing availability of goods and services. The Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan of India would make the world order more just and fair, promoting greater cooperation and peace. Our diaspora has an important role in the\u00a0 India\u2019s global aspirations, he added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/Pravsi%20Bharatiya%20Divas%202021%20address%20_President%20Speech_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>Please click here to see the President Speech<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964 Our Diaspora is our face to the world, and champions India\u2019s cause on the global stage January 9th Our Diaspora is our face to the world, and champions India\u2019s cause on the global stage.
