Speaking at the event, Vijay Kumar said, “Myanmar has one of the largest diasporas of people of Indian origin. I am happy that the Indian chapter has been established thanks to the efforts of the members led by Ravindra Jain. The primary objective of the organisation would be to connect the Indian diaspora with the diaspora around the world, contribute to their well-being, provide educational opportunities, and connect them back to their Indian roots.”
