The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) 2025, scheduled to be held from January 8 to 10, 2025, in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, marks a significant moment in the country’s celebration of the Indian diaspora and their invaluable contributions to India’s growth. This year, the event will take on added significance as it is being hosted in Odisha, a state that is poised to play a pivotal role in India’s development over the coming decades.
Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Odisha is becoming an integral part of the nation’s ambitious growth strategy, particularly in alignment with the PM’s vision of Purvoday—the Rise of Eastern India as a key driver of national prosperity. The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas provides a unique opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the Indian diaspora while showcasing the transformative journey of Odisha as a major player in India’s economic and cultural resurgence.
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, celebrated every year on January 9, commemorates the return of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi during 1915 to India from South Africa who later on led India’s freedom struggle and became Mahatma Gandhi. The day honours the Indian diaspora across the globe and acknowledges the significant role that overseas Indians have played in strengthening India’s economy, culture, and global standing.
The three-day celebration in Bhubaneswar will serve as a key platform for global Indians to engage with the country’s growth story, explore investment opportunities, and contribute to India’s evolving future. The 18th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2025 is a unique occasion for both the state of Odisha and the Indian diaspora. This gathering will highlight the state’s growing influence in shaping India’s economic and industrial landscapes, while also aligning with PM Modi’s goal of fostering inclusive growth and development across the eastern part of India. It also showcases PM Modi’s keen interest in putting Odisha on a rapid growth path.
