On behalf of the Government of India, during my visit to Dubai, I had an interaction with the Kannada diaspora there.

The achievements of dynamic Kannadigas settled abroad who continue to make unique contributions to their motherland are truly commendable.

Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi avaru, India has emerged as the world’s fourth-largest economic power and is now steadily advancing towards the third position.

In this context, I am heartened by the contribution of Kannadigas towards building a strong and prosperous India.
