The Indian diaspora, one of the largest in the world, plays a significant role in India’s politico-economic landscape through remittances, investments, knowledge transfer, and diplomatic influence. Recognizing this importance, the Government of India has developed a wide range of programmes and schemes aimed at engaging, protecting, and leveraging its diaspora for national development while also addressing their welfare and identity concerns abroad. One of the flagship initiatives is the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD), celebrated annually on 9th January to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi’s return from South Africa. It serves as a platform for engagement between India and its overseas community, enabling discussions on policy issues, investment opportunities, and cultural connections. The Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award is conferred during this event to honor exceptional contributions made by members of the diaspora in various fields, thereby strengthening emotional and symbolic ties with India. The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) scheme is another significant initiative that provides a form of long-term visa and certain economic and educational benefits to persons of Indian origin. Although it does not grant political rights such as voting, it allows lifelong visa-free travel, exemption from registration with authorities for extended stays, and parity with Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in fields like education and economic investments. This scheme has been instrumental in fostering a sense of belonging among the diaspora while facilitating their engagement with India’s growth story. The Know India Programme (KIP) is specifically designed for younger members of the diaspora, particularly those aged between 18 and 30. It aims to promote awareness about India’s culture, heritage, economy, and contemporary developments. Through structured visits, interactions, and exposure to various sectors, KIP helps strengthen emotional connections and encourages future collaboration with India in professional and entrepreneurial domains. To enhance diaspora participation in governance and policy-making, the Government of India established the Ministry of External Affairs’ dedicated division for Overseas Indian Affairs, which later merged
