Pravasi Bharatiya Divas: Celebrating India’s Global Family
By Mrs. Manisha Upadhyay, CEO – Brain Discovery Global School
Introduction
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is a moment of pride for every Indian, as it celebrates the achievements and contributions of the Indian diaspora across the world. At Brain Discovery Global School, this day holds special significance because our educational philosophy focuses on nurturing students who are globally competent while remaining deeply rooted in Indian values.
As India progresses towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, the role of Indians living abroad continues to grow in importance—economically, culturally, and intellectually.
Significance of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is more than a commemorative event; it is a platform that strengthens India’s bond with its Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and overseas citizens. Indians across the globe contribute significantly to education, innovation, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange.
Despite geographical distances, the Indian diaspora continues to represent Indian culture, traditions, and values with pride. Their success stories serve as inspiration for young learners and reinforce India’s position on the global stage.
Education as a Bridge Between Cultures
At Brain Discovery Global School, we believe education plays a vital role in connecting global opportunities with cultural grounding. Our curriculum is designed to nurture confident learners who can adapt to a rapidly changing world while staying connected to their roots.
We emphasize:
- Value-based and holistic education
- Global exposure with Indian ethos
- Critical thinking and leadership skills
- Cultural awareness and social responsibility
This balanced approach prepares students to succeed internationally without losing their identity—an ideal reflected in the spirit of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas.
Honouring the Indian Diaspora’s Contribution
The Indian diaspora has played a crucial role in India’s development journey. From contributing to global innovation and economic growth to strengthening India’s soft power worldwide, their efforts continue to shape India’s global reputation.
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas acknowledges these contributions and reinforces the message that India’s progress is a shared responsibility—across borders and generations.
A Legacy That Inspires the Future
Initiated in 2003 by former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas stands as a symbol of unity and shared purpose. In 2026, we mark its 19th celebration, reaffirming our commitment to strengthening global connections.
At Brain Discovery Global School, we remain dedicated to shaping future global citizens who respect their heritage while embracing the world with confidence.
Conclusion
On this Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, we celebrate the enduring bond between India and its global family. At Brain Discovery Global School, we continue to nurture young minds that carry Indian values forward—wherever their journey may lead.
