People from 17 countries to attend the first International Pravasi Uttarakhandi Sammelan

People belonging to Uttarakhand living abroad are reaching the first International Pravasi Uttarakhandi Sammelan being organized by the Uttarakhand government. So far, more than 50 well-known Non resident Uttarakhandis residing abroad have registered themselves for the conference.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami will inaugurate the one-day International Pravasi Uttarakhandi Sammelan to be held on January 12. In the conference, panel discussions will also be held in four different sessions on the possibility of investment in Uttarakhand, hospitality-wellness, skill development, employment abroad and higher education as well as the possibility of garden herbs.

Many big names are participating

Many migrant Uttarakhandis who have earned a name in different fields while living abroad are participating in this conference. Apart from Girish Chandra Pant, a Dubai resident who received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman, it includes names like Dev Raturi from China, Dr. Anita Sharma from America, Bhuvan Tiwari from Japan, Sunil Thapliyal from Singapore, Meenakshi Dabral, Dr. AK Kala from Thailand. Many migrants will also participate in the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas being organized by the Government of India in Bhubaneswar before this. For detailed information about the program, the website https://pravasiuttarakhandi.uk.gov.in/en/program has also been started.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami himself took the initiative to connect the migrants from Uttarakhand. In fact, before the Investor Summit organized in December 2023, CM Dhami went on a foreign tour, where the migrants welcomed him with the customs and traditions of Uttarakhand. During this, many successful people met the Chief Minister. After this, to take advantage of the experience of such migrants, the Chief Minister directed to form a Pravasi Uttarakhandi Cell in the government as well as organize an International Pravasi Uttarakhandi Conference.

Migrants of Uttarakhand living abroad are earning name in every field. They have vast experience in knowledge, science, technology and entrepreneurship. The government wants that the migrants should use this experience to develop their states and villages. The government is ready to provide all possible help in this work. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been constantly motivating the migrants to contribute to the development of their states, which is yielding positive results.
