In an effort to unite the more than 30 million Indians living abroad, or "pravasis," the Ministry of External Affairs has launched the Global Pravasi Rishta portal. Through the site, the Ministry of External Affairs, Indian diplomatic missions, and the diaspora are intended to communicate in three ways. This portal can be used for the registration of Indian diaspora members such as – NRI, PIO and OCI.
By engaging with the diaspora in real-time and having the ability to send out emergency alerts and advisories, this portal will support crisis management efforts. It will also enable the diaspora to reach the consular officers and services in times of emergencies. The portal will connect the Indian government with the community of Indians living abroad and several government programmes, both new and old, that may be useful to them new as well as existing that might be of benefit to them.Please disseminate the information widely amongst members of your esteemed Associations/Organisations and encourage them to register (for minor, parents are also to register) by clicking the link: https://pravasirishta.gov.in/home; Select region: as *United Kingdom*; Select Mission: as *London* and then register.
