00:00The Indian Diaspora is an integral part of this vision.
00:07Your global presence gives you a unique perspective and your achievements place you in a position

00:19I have seen this firsthand during my interactions with our diaspora as part of my travel abroad.
00:28I urge you all to actively engage in this journey for your success, like the success
00:35of India.
00:36Ladies and gentlemen, recognizing the crucial role of the diaspora in nation-building, the
00:45Government of India has taken several initiatives to support it.
00:51Consular services for non-resident Indians have been simplified.
00:57For overseas citizens of India, processes have been digitized and streamlined.
01:04Initiatives like the Know India program provide avenues for the younger members of our diaspora
01:11to rediscover their Indian roots.
01:15I am happy to know that the Odisha government is appointing a nodal minister for engaging
01:21with Provasi Bharatiya for project investment, etc.
01:26I appreciate the step taken by the Odisha government.
01:46We have also been proactive in safeguarding the interests of Indians living abroad.
01:57In recent years, we have launched several missions, including Operation Kaveri, Operation
02:04Gonga, and Operation Vande Bharat, to assist distressed Indians.
02:10Today, Indians around the world can count on their homeland for support and protection
02:17in times of need.
02:19Ladies and gentlemen, over the last three days, experts from diverse fields have come

02:59and the global community.
03:02A special mention must also be made of the contributions of women, students, and the
