โThe Pravasi Bhartiya Divas (PBD) is another opportunity to build bonds of friendship, mentorship and camaraderie that are forged when we directly interact with and learn from our diaspora towards a shared future,โ he tweeted.
โI am happy to state that the Modi government has changed the approach & attitude towards our diaspora. The honour & respect that our diaspora deserve is reflected through numerous initiatives & the importance we give towards ensuring engagements during our official visits,โ the Thakur tweeted.
Calling the PBD a โmoment to re-imagine new possibilitiesโ, Thakur said it is a platform to develop new ideas.
โPBD is as much about your story and the story of rising India! It is a moment to reconnect and re-imagine new possibilities! And it is a network to drive change, discover new ties, and develop new ideas!โ he tweeted.
