Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra

A High-Level Committee on Indian Diaspora, headed by Shri L. M. Singhvi,

had recommended in January 2002 that the Government must renew and

strengthen linkages of overseas Indians to their place of origin and with each

other. The committee recommended that a Pravasi Bharatiya Bhavan should

be set up to emerge as the focal point for networking between India and its

overseas Indian community; and as a suitable place which would

commemorate the trials, tribulations, the evolution, and achievements of the

Indian Diaspora.Taking this recommendation forward in January 2004, at the second Pravasi

Bhartiya Divas (PBD) organized in Delhi, then Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari

Vajpayee announced that the Government will set up the Pravasi Bhartiya

Kendra in New Delhi.The Foundation Stone of the Kendra was laid by the then P.M. Dr. Manmohan

Singh at 9th PBD in January 2011. Ground Breaking was done by then

Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs on 28.04.2011 and construction started in

April 2013. Contract for construction of Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra (PBK) was awarded to National Building

Construction Corporation (NBCC) on turnkey basis.Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra in New Delhi on Sunday on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. The centre was dedicated to the welfare of the Indian Diaspora. At the inauguration, the prime minister said "We are inaugurating this Kendra on a significant day of 2nd October. Gandhi Ji had left India but the call of the nation brought him back."[16]

Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra located at the heart of the Capital in Plots No.15A,

15B and 15D, Dr. Rizal Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi is a tribute to the

overseas Indian community; and commemorates their migration to various

parts of the world, the challenges they faced abroad, their achievements and

contributions.

Over time, the Kendra is expected to develop into a hub of activities for

sustainable, symbiotic and mutually rewarding economic, social and cultural

engagement between India and its Diaspora. Activities, seminars, events,

workshops pertaining to the Indian Diaspora are expected to be organized here.

The Museum in the Kendra will depict the history of migration of the overseas

Indian community; their experiences and contributions.

In the Kendra’s state-of-the art auditorium, multi-purpose halls, Conference

and seminar halls – workshops and conferences with overseas Indians and on issues pertaining to them would be organized on a regular basis. The Kendra will also house the autonomous bodies India Centre for Migration, a think-tank working on issues pertaining to Indian migrant workers and the India Development Foundation for Overseas Indians, a not-for-profit Trust promoting contributions to flagship programmes in India.

The Library in PBK is a valuable repository of material about the Indian Diaspora including books written by overseas Indians in different languages.With an emphasis on digital material, —the library will provide access to online

journals and prestigious library resources[17]

Logo

In the year of 2016 when the event was decided to be held biannually the Ministry of External Affairs needed a new logo for Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention. It was crowdsourced through the [https://www.mygov.in/task/design-logo-pravasi-bharatiya-divas-convention/ MyGov] portal in an open competition and the winner Debasish Sarkar was [https://blog.mygov.in/congratulations-to-the-winner-of-the-pravasi-bharatiya-divas-2017-logo-design-contest/ awarded] in a Joint Press Conference of Ministry of External Affair and Karnataka Government and the new logo was inducted in the 14th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas. The philosophy behind the logo according to the creator was "the human chain depicts our brotherhood and strength across the world, ‘Ashoka Chakra’ along with the tricolour canopy showing the Worldwide contribution towards development on mankind and peaceful presence of ‘Bharatiya’ and ‘Pravasi Bharatiya’ all around the world".
