भारतीय प्रवासी दिवस की जानकारी अक्‍सर मीडिया से प्राप्‍त होती है और कार्यक्रम सम्‍पन्‍न भी हो जाता है, शेष भारतीयों को बातें साझा करने का मंच ही नही मिलता सिवाय गिने चुने जनों के, या ये कह लें धनाडयों के सिवाय अाम भारतीय, प्रवासी जनो से मिल ही नही पाता. अतएव एक ऐसा मंच हो जहां सभी अपने विचार साझा कर सकें यह वास्‍तविक भी हो सकता है और वर्चुअल भी. डिजिटल इंडिया की बात कर रहे हैं तो मेल मिलाप भी डिजिटल हो सकता है.

Given the industrial productivity contraction, and the decline in the domestic market growth, i dont think the RBI is doing enough. The RBI doesnt want to meet any short term target. It wants to fix its own mide term target, which it may or may not meet. Everybody and every institution should be made accountable, otherwise we would never have the drive to meet the target.

In 6 months, I think it is very apparent about what needs to be done to further enhance the bond between NRIs and resident Indians for increasing a strong favourable investment destination in India. The FCNR scheme was wonderful and one I'm proud as it is one key area as an NRI where I am treated "specially". Improving governance and while all Indians have the same rights..

The first generation of NRIs who went to US as students are retiring. Many of them spend a few months in India and a few months in US. These are highly skilled individuals and many want to give back. Employing them as guest faculty in various Indian colleges will give them a stronger reason to come to India, a small salary but most critically the satisfaction of giving back to India. It will also greatly help in skill development in India.
