The
Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has set up a Global-Indian Network of
Knowledge (Global-INK), conceived as a strategic virtual think tank
that connects Overseas Indians (who are “knowledge providers”) with the development process in India (which
consists of “knowledge receivers”).
“Being
a next generation knowledge management,
collaboration and business solution platform,” the Ministry says, “Global-INK
provides context to connect knowledge experts with knowledge seekers.
Consequently these connections enable flow of knowledge and expertise from the
Diaspora back into India and facilitate collective action.
“Global-INK
will catalyze Diaspora ability and willingness into well thought out projects
and programs for development, transform individual initiatives into community
action and achieve critical mass in chosen verticals.”
Overseas
Indians wishing to participate in Global-INK activity can seek registration by
filling a form available at its website www.globalink.in
The
Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (www.moia.gov.in)
and the Confederation of Indian Industry have jointly set up an Overseas Indian
Facilitation Centre (www.oifc.in) with a view
to expanding the economic engagement of the Diaspora within India.
Ms.
Sujata Sudarshan, Director of CII, is the CEO of OIFC. Its office is located at
249-F, Sector 18, Udyog Vihar, Phase IV, Gurgaon 122015, Haryana, India. Tel
