Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is celebrated on January 9 every year in India. The day marks the return of Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa in the year 1915 on January 9. It also acknowledges the contribution of Indian community living abroad in the development of India. Last year, the government had decided to hold larger version of Pravasi Bhartiya Divas (PBD) after every two years and that limited version of the event will be organised in the intervening year. This year, the first limited edition of Pravasi Bhartiya Divas is launched.
