Pravasi Bharathi Day Celebrations In Kerala
           9th  January  was declared as “Pravasi Bharathiya Diwas” by the Vajpayee Government in 2002, to honour  Non-Resident Indians residing all over  the world for their outstanding contribution for the welfare of our society.  Every year on this day prominent NRIs are honoured with Pravasi Bharathiya Smman Awards by the President of India, in the colorful function held at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi.  In Kerala also Pravasi Bharathi Day Celebrations are held every year since 2003 to honour prominent Keralite NRIs and other political and social leaders.  The celebrations in Kerala are organized under the auspices of Pravasi Bharathi News Bulletin, the first Non-Resident Magazine published from Trivandrum, Pravasi Bharathiya Forum and NRI Co-Ordination Council, Kerala since last ten years.  Pravasi Bharathi Forum and NRI Co-Ordination Council  are NRI organizations which look after the problems of Keralite NRIs working abroad.  A regional committee comprising of local social and political leaders is also formed to organize the celebrations.
            We also do several charity activities during the Pravasi Bharathi Day Celebration. We have already distributed more than 100 sewing machines to poor gulf returnees for self employment.  We have distributed financial assistance to ailing gulf returnees and to poor students for their educational purpose.
            The flow of educated and skilled labour from Kerala towards the Middle East and other countries started nearly five decades ago. The inflow of foreign currency to our country has helped a lot to improve the economic situation of the nation, especially the state of Kerala.  There are millions of Keralites working abroad in different countries in the world, especially in the Middle East. The employment opportunities in the gulf has been a big relief to the severe unemployment problem in Kerala, with thousands of skilled labourers and professionals like Engineers, Doctors and Nurses, getting jobs in the Middle East.
            Some of the youth with little education and technical knowledge from our state migrated to USA and Middle East and they have excelled in their fields and became successful entrepreneurs, who can be good models for the unemployed, educated youth of Kerala. Such hardworking people became millionaires in a short span of around two decades or less.  During the last Pravasi Bharathi Day Celebrations in the previous years, we have encouraged such individuals with Pravasi Bharathiya Awards.  They are little known in our society. Our Celebrations have brought out their stories of hard work and achievements to the public.  Some of the individuals whom we have encouraged are Dr. Galfar Muhammed Ali, Dr. M.I.Sahadullah(CMD, KIMS), Sri.M.M.Hassan (Former NORKA Minister), Mr.John Titus (USA), Dr.P.A.Ibrahim (Dubai), Dr.B.R.Shetty (Abudhabi), Smt.Mariamma Varkey (Dubai), Sri.E.M.Najeeb (ATE, Tvm), Mr. Polly Mathew (Somatheeram), Mr.Faizal Khan (MD, NIMS), Sri.O.Rajagopal (Former Union Minister),   Sri. P.N.C Menon (Chairman, Sobha Developers), Sri. G.Sugathan (Indroyal), K.Muralidharan (Chairman, SFC Group, Abu Dhabi), Sri. Kris Gopalakrishnan(CEO, Infosys) etc.
            We have honoured several political leaders also during the Pravasi Bharathi Day Celebrations in Kerala.  In the year 2003, the first Pravasi Bharathi Kerala Award was presented to the former Chief Minister of Kerala Sri.E.K.Nayanar, for his outstanding contributions for the overall development of Kerala.  In 2004 the award was given to Sri. M.M. Hassan. In the following years present State Ministers Sri. C. Divakaran and Sri. N. K. Premachandran also received awards form us. In 2007 former state minister and RSP State General Secretary Sri.K.Pankajakshan was honoured with Award. In 2008 former union Minister Sri. O. Rajagopal and in 2009 G.Karthikeyan (former minister) received Pravasi Bharathi Awards from us.
