NRI as 'National Resource of India'
|
|
NRI, an abbreviation for non-resident Indians, is often times referred to by disgruntled NRIs as non-required Indians. NRIs feel that they are ignored by the government in India. However according to a report in the Saudi Arabian based English daily, ‘Arab News’ this was refuted by the Indian Consul General to Saudi Arabia Mr. Syed Akbaruddin.
According to Mr Akbaruddin the present government considers NRIs as so important in the country’s social fabric that they are now recognized as a national resource of India.
Mr Akbaruddin made these remarks while speaking at a program to commemorate the 55th anniversary of India’s independence at a function at Le Jeddah Meridien. The consul general, urged the community to make use of the upcoming “Pravasi Bharatiya Divas” (Indians Abroad Day) being held in New Delhi from Jan. 9-11 to voice their grievances and opinions on various issues concerning them.
