People often move out of India in search of better education or job opportunities or to upgrade their standard of living. Although Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) form only 1% of 1.3 billion total population of Indians, they are an integral part of India. Despite their relatively small numbers, NRIs contribute immensely to India’s socio-economic fabric, both through their intellectual capital and financial contributions. According to a report, each dollar that gets transferred to India adds to the country’s foreign exchange pool. Remittances to India are also one of the crucial contributors to the foreign exchange reserve and sum up to approximately 25 percent of total foreign exchange reserves in the country. There was a 50 to 80 percent growth in remittance inflows from several nations including the United States, Canada, UK, and the Middle-East countries.
Beyond economic support, NRIs also serve as cultural ambassadors of India, spreading awareness about Indian traditions, values, and heritage across the world. They often invest in Indian businesses, startups, and real estate, thereby boosting the economy and creating jobs in various sectors, such as technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. NRIs help build stronger diplomatic and trade relations between India and their host countries that often pave the way for better bilateral policies, trade agreements, and collaborations between nations. NRIs also play a crucial role in promoting India as a tourism destination which further enhances tourism revenues and foreign exchange.
Indian Achiever’s Forum keeps a close concern about the Indian community residing overseas. The International Achiever’s Award presented by Indian Achievers’ Forum promotes and encourages the NRIs who have left a mark on the sands of achievement and have done some exceptional work for the betterment, growth & development of the Indian diaspora in any country across the globe. This award is given to the individuals, organisations and business community people who bring glory for India through their outstanding achievements. With this accolade, Indian Achievers’ Forum also seeks to foster a sense of unity and solidarity among NRIs, encouraging them to continue contributing to the development of both their host countries and their homeland. We ensure that their exceptional work is recognized, celebrated, and shared across various communities and platforms, motivating future generations to carry forward the legacy of excellence.
