Diaspora meet may have to wait to break even

The overseas Indian affairs ministry may have to wait some years before seeing surplus from its prestigious annual event, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD).10:02 PM on January 08

A purely commercial view of the diaspora event involving surpluses and shortfalls, looks misplaced, shortsighted. The Ministry shd. understand that the intangible benefits (sense of solidarity, imponderable support in causes in international arena, acting in some direct/indirect manner supplementing our diplomacy and collaboration scouting efforts, for ex.)should be kept in perspectice in any imaginative conceptual approach to this event.
