Singh's remarks during the opening of the Sixth Pravasi Bharatiya Divas came with the recent violence in Malaysia and Kenya, where people of Indian origin were affected, apparently weighing in his mind.
"The security and welfare of Indian residents living abroad is a top priority of our diplomatic missions," Singh said while opening the annual event of Overseas Indians.
Singh also urged community leaders to develop better liaison and coordination with Indian missions to better serve Non-Resident Indian (NRI) communities.
"It is through such engagement that the embassies will become more responsive to the needs of overseas Indians," he said.
Singh said the gathering of the Pravasi Bharatiya in the Capital has, therefore, a global relevance.
"We can show our troubled, divided, embattled world a new pathway to living together inspired by our modern idea of 'Unity in Diversity'," he added.
The Prime Minister said this message is especially relevant today as we see growing violence in many parts of the world where Indian communities are settled.
Singh also spoke about a clear recognition in India of the growing clout and influence of Indian communities in their adopted homes.

RatingHere are some things the Indian government should begin to do even if a nominal fee is added to maintaining the passport. Have (group) health, accident, and life insurance coverage for every Indian citizen overseas. Have a ready list of lawyers and public relations specialists available on call (free first hour of counseling). Have bail bond coverage. Assemble educational and job opportunity information with help from countries of residence. Argue for work permits for all dependents of those immigrants who go on work visas – this should help spouses with the ability to work. Work with each country to prepare a welcome package for Indian immigrants, tourists, business people, students, and visitors that describes the pertinent laws, customs, and traditions. Set up call centers in India with toll free numbers to respond to Indian citizen questions and requests for services. Have a log of all inquiries for accountability and performance improvement.
Dear Prime Minister, I think I will be dead before your words are translated into action by the ever lethargic IFS brigade. I live in Sydney and I can say that I get better treatment in any government office but the Indian Consulate. I am treated like a second class citizen whenever I walk in there. The treatment I get in Australian Givt offices is exactly opposite. Forget about the security of NRIs, Indian missions have a long way to go even to achieve a normal cordial relationship with NRIs living away from home.
I KNOW THERE ARE SOME NRIs WHO " APPRECIATE
stop bullshitting, we know what u did for the malay hindus.
But that is because of the "MUSLIMS FIRST" policy of ManMoran.Consistency is the virtue of .....!!!!
how much reservation to muslims here ?
Security, Wellfare and Livilihood of NRIs is morethreatened and abused by Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) in false prosecutions under Indian dowry Act.
Security and welfare of NRIs is different from poking noses into others business who have long settled abroad. If they are Indian citizens, yes it should be the top priority. But for people of Indian origin.. its a different story altogether.

As a secularist myself, I have condemned any RSS/VHP unfair activities. BUT why muslims fail to criticise those hooligans in their community or foreigners with local christians have begun an invasion of conversion. EITHER BE FAIR OR STOP TALKING SECULARISM. IT IS A TWO-WAY STREET. THANK GOD OTHERISE IF SOME OTHER PEOPLE WERE AT 80% MAJORITY LEVEL, NO SECULARIMS WOULD EXIST IN INDIA. TIME TO BE FAIR.
SAVE THE COUNTRY FROM AFZAL GURUS FIRST, DEFEND LOCAL INDIANS
Is there an another election comming up? Indian goverment has not taken any active steps to solve the issue when the indians in britian.
You are right buddy, seems an election is nearby somewhere. Let him try to stop those being sold in Hyderabad to 3rd grade arab oldies. They first and 2nd grade dont prefer indian stuff. by the way when SONIA is going to RESIGN? Her nautanki is over at the hospital now. What a slave country!! They are so big mouthed that they even try to justify their slavery....esp.; BLA BLA RAJDESAI.
What about the security and welfare of our own people.Christians, Sikhs and Muslims are not safe in their own country.Curb the moists and Sangh parivar's activities first. The governments are bond to proivde security to their own minorities no matter its Indian government or Kenyan or Malaysians. Charity starts from home.
AS A SIKH MYSELF, LET ME TELL YOU THAT WE ARE SELF AND PROGRESSING. DONT DRAG US IN TO THE TRAP. FIRST BEHAVE YRSELF AND THAN TALK. STOP CROC TEARS.
I FULLY AGREE WITH YOUR POINT. BUT THERE IS SLIGHT OVERSIGHT... IT IS NOT SANGH PARIVAR, ( SHOW AN EXAPLE PLS ) BUT IT IS SIMI, HUJI,LeT, HIZBUL,BROTHERHOOD AND ALL THOSE SMALL GROUPS AT EVERY TOWN,VILLAGES AND CHAURAHAS. taking the orders from accross the borders and seas. Anyway,that was a good point, thanks.
It is a crocodile tears of our Prime Minister. I am not referring to the present one but the previous ones. I am presently employed in Kuwait and see the pathetic conditions. No respect for our contrymen. Prime Minister can make statements sitting at Delhi and in front of media. All kerala ministers etc. come here make some money for election fund. They come here to meet small time Indian Businessmen.
