Four major NRI organisations in the United States have decided to pool their resources to promote common causes and interests. According to a PTI report, the organisations were heeding the advice given by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during his recent visit to the United States.
The 4 organisations coming together are the Association of Indians in America (AIA), the National Federation of Indian Associations (NFIA), the Indian American Forum for Political Education (IAFPE) and the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO).
The organisations would maintain their individual identities and continue to carry out their normal activity but would coordinate their action on issues of common concern that require wider participation. For this purpose, an eight-member coordination committee comprising two representatives from each organisation had been set up to identify issues and decide on action to be taken.
Prime minister had asked the Indian Americans to work together in the interest of the NRI community in the United States to ensure a coordinated action rather than fragmenting their energies.
