Objectives of Kerala Pravasi Association

The role of diaspora in the all-round growth of India is commendable. According to 2020 government estimates, today 18 million Indians live outside the country, the largest diaspora population in the world. The United Arab Emirates (3.5 million), United States of America (2.7 million) and Saudi Arabia (2.5 million) are the top three countries holding the highest number of expatriates from India.

According to a United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Australia, Canada, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar and the United Kingdom are the other key host countries for Indian migrants.

A World Bank report stated that, in 2021, despite a global pandemic, remittances from diaspora Indians to India accounted for nearly $87 billion. The expatriate community is accounts for over 10 per cent of India's population including those who have left their home state to seek work in other Indian states.

The Indian diaspora is an integral part of India's economic-social-developmental fabric. The diaspora contributes to the country's development through foreign investment, trade, rapid advancement in technology and laying the foundation for economic growth.

The knowledge and skills acquired from the diaspora population, their high work culture, excellent technical knowledge, innovative work training, sense of purpose and dedication to work, all work together for the progress and betterment of the country.

The most important objective for the national political movement Kerala Pravasi Association, is to provide non-resident Indians a clear views on the daily life of the people of our country, mutual cooperation and how it can be driven for the development of the country.

Over the years, successive governments and mainstream political parties have failed to include the expatriate community in the development of state. Despite the challenges, the organization aims to take up the political task of uniting all sections of the people to achieve this goal.

There is also a identified implementation of expatriates’ views and expertise in 36 areas, including agriculture, environment protection, industrial development, manufacturing sectors as well as poverty alleviation, unemployment and infrastructure development. The organization is committed to work tirelessly for the progress of the nation without leaving anyone behind.

Kerala Pravasi Association does not engage in any form of activities such as bandhs and hartals, destruction of public property and stagnation of public life.

Kerala Pravasi Association Party officially inaugurated

The official announcement of the Kerala Pravasi Association (KPA) Party was made at a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram.

Formed under the leadership of expatriate Indians, the party was approved by the Election Commission of India. KPA formed the political party under the slogan 'Self Sufficient and Self Reliant India” through Pravasi’s.

The dream of the diaspora is a developed, self-sufficient Kerala that is clean, waste-free, equal employment opportunities, housing, proper water and sanitation, international medical and educational facilities, excellent infrastructure and more.

As a first step, KPA has approached the Supreme Court with the intention of getting Pravasi the right to vote in their home country.

How is Kerala Pravasi Association different?

KPA’s will activate its ideas from Kerala as it the a state with the strongest diaspora based economy only. The expat community, which accounts for over one third of Kerala's population, contributes about 37 per cent of Kerala's GDP. KPA’s will work towards the revival of the economy and rebuilding greater trust in the government. The citizens of India are disappointed with the nepotism, corruption, criminality and communalism existing in Indian politics today.

Let's move forward together in implementing this vision by implementing the expertise of the expatriates in 36 fields that will help in the betterment of our nation.
