The Diaspora Dividend
Session highlights:
When the Covid pandemic surfaced, there wasn’t a single PPE kit or N95 mask maker; I’m happy to inform you that now the state has capacity to even serve the export market.
We’re building a greenfield airport in Jewar; 100,000 people will get employment and it will facilitate economic development.
The defence corridor that is under implementation will create huge opportunities for investors and also generate jobs for our youth.

There was a real outpouring and step-up in the diaspora in supporting their local communities.
The pandemic has shown every tear in the social fabric of the US; the Indian community, having done very well for themselves, have an obligation to give back — digital skills & healthcare being some areas of strength.
At the reforms level, livelihoods have come into clear focus across the states of India looking beyond Covid-19 & get industries going & revive agriculture.
