Indian Embassy organized the \u2018Next Destination Indore\u2019 event last week at the embassy premises, to announce Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) 2023, which is scheduled to be held in Indore on 9 January, 2023.<\/p>\n
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is celebrated every year on the 9 January to mark the contribution of the overseas Indian community to the development of India.

Since 2015, its format has been revised to celebrate PBD once every two years and to hold theme-based Pravasi Bhartiya Divas Conferences during the intervening period with participation from overseas diaspora experts, policymakers, and stakeholders.<\/p>\n
Representatives of Indian diaspora across the globe are expected to gather at Indore, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh for PBD 2023, which is being held under the theme of \u2018Diaspora: Reliable Partners for India\u2019s Progress in Amrit Kaal\u2019.
