Celebrating January 9th
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas
Honoring the global Indian family and their contribution to India's journey.
About the Day
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is celebrated every year to mark the contribution of the Overseas Indian community in the development of India. It serves as a significant platform for the diaspora to engage with their roots and contribute to the nation's growth.
"January 9 was chosen because it was on this day in 1915 that Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest 'Pravasi', returned to India from South Africa, eventually leading the nation to independence."
