The function began with Mr Nair’s short but powerful promo on the sacrifice of India’s great freedom fighters to bring freedom to the country. He lauded the endeavor put in by the chief architects behind this NRI Festival—The Health Foundation and Power Sportz. The Minister, himself, idolized sports as an integral part of life and has been a Kabaddi and volleyball player in his university days particularly.
During his remarks, he emphasized the importance of the sports events to be held during this festival and appealed to all NRIs to take part in this festival. He further emphasized the crucial role played by the vast NRI community living outside India and reiterated PM Modi’s statement that the Indian diaspora population acts as our cultural ambassadors.
The festival aims to honor these diaspora communities and is a way to thank them for making India feel proud abroad with their presence. It was decided to launch the tagline “Connecting Sentiments” considering that this NRI festival is not a commercial event, but rather a way to connect emotionally with the Indian diaspora population.
Sports & fitness events such as Marathon, Cricket, Kabaddi, Yoga, shall endeavour to ensure that NRI youth diaspora population participates in them and feels a connect with the Indians. Special stands for the diaspora population will be erected at each of the venues and talks are also on amongst the Organizers to involve first-degree relatives of the NRI community, living in Indias as well, as important participants in this festival.
The function will be celebrated with a series of events across sports, culture, and health while inviting the Indian community living outside India. Meanwhile, the venues are yet to be finalized, and the NRIs will have the pleasure of free entry to all of the events.
The Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Power Sportz TV, Ms. Kanthi D. Suresh, said, “It is a great honor to cover the live sports events in the NRI festival. The Global Power concept is very much in sync with the vision of the channel as well.” She further added that they strive to do their best to showcase all the events to satisfy everyone.
