Pravasi Bharatiya Divas has emerged as a wonderful forum to strengthen the bond between the diaspora and the people of India. It offers unlimited opportunities for India to gain from the skill and insight of the diaspora, who have been the pride of India across the world.

This forum seeks inputs on how to further sharpen the focus of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas for the overall development of India. Share your views on what more can be done to make the interaction between the NRIs and the Government more productive and impactful. How can India receive more investment not only from the diaspora but also from the world at large?

If you find global best practices of how various Governments have been innovatively engaging with their diaspora through such summits, you can share the same here too.

Please give them voting rights as soon as possible. They should be allowed to vote via online voting system. Specials laws to allow Indians to bring more money , gifts articles back when they come back for small trips. Like they can come with articles up to 5 lacs. Least intervention and simplification of custom process

I am NRI residing in Canada. I have two sons age between 23 & 28. They visited few times when they were young. Now they want to visit India but they don't like to get through VISA process. They claim that why the Indian Origin person when holds the foreign nationality has to have the VISA to enter his own country. They sould allow dual citizenship.

NRI व्यक्ति अगर भारत में कुछ भी निवेश करना चाहता है तो उसे लालफीताशाही से रूबरू न होना पड़े , एवं उसके द्वारा किया गये निवेश का कुछ प्रतिशत (२-५%) रक्षा में निवेश किया जाय (BOND) सिर्फ NRI ही नहीं बल्कि प्रत्येक इच्छुक निवेशक को ONLINE सारे जरूरी दस्तावेजो को जमा एवं प्राप्त करने की सुविधा अगर मिले तो उनका हौसला और बढ़ेगा।

Large proportion of Pravasi Indians are professionals. Condition of most of the Govt Medical/Engineering college is pathetic due to insufficient funds. If each of us adopts our own Med/Eng college, we can revive their old glories. We are all capable. Our Alma mater provided us the most-needed wings. We should feel proud to give back whatever we can. In return or to make the process attractive, colleges can offer honorary titles. We may even devote 1 week/year for teaching and training in them.

1. Policy Changes- To lure investment from Parvasi, we can lower the Income tax on income generated. 2. Implementation Changes - We can create a online forum where Individuals/Businessman can interact. Individuals from India will provide plans to generate income, the funding can be done by Parvasi as angel investor. 3. Creation of Organization which will help Parvasi investor to do reality check up and evaluation of Individual who request for investments using online forum.

The Indian consulates in various parts of US specially the consulate in Chicago is a painfully pathetic place. Visitors who arrive here for various consular services has to wait on the road. They are not allowed to even wait in the lobby. It is remnant of the how the government employees people treat the public in India. Disrespectful. We need to see some educated, well mannered consular employees here who treats the pravasis better.
