  • NRI festival to be held from July, tourism minister launches logo

    Union tourism minister Shripad Yesso Naik on Wednesday launched the logo of a six-month-long NRI festival to be held from July. The tagline of the logo is ‘Connecting Sentiments’, indicative of India's emotional connection with the Indian diaspora across the world.

    Naik highlighted the important role played by the vast NRI community living outside India and reiterated Prime Minister Modi’s statement that the Indian diaspora is like our cultural ambassadors.
    There will be a series of events on sports and culture, where special invites will be given to the Indian community living outside India. Sports and fitness events such as marathon, cricket, kabaddi and yoga endeavour to ensure that the NRI youth diaspora participates in them and feels a connection with the Indians back home.

    Dr Naval Kumar Verma, president, Rejoice Health foundation – which is organising the NRI festival, along Power Sportz – said that the six-month-long festival will focus on India now being a formidable “global power”, as we celebrate 75 years of Independence, and focus on the 32 million diasporas living outside India.

    Minister Naik, a former kabaddi and volleyball player, particularly emphasised on the sports events and made an ardent appeal to all the NRIs to come and participate in the same. “We extend our wholehearted support for this festival,” said the minister.
