The first ?Pravasi Bharatiya Divas', held in New Delhi earlier this year, was a great success. It attracted eminent Indians from all over the world, including Nobel laureates, business leaders, scientists and innovators, academicians and political leaders. Prime Minister Vajpayee announced that his government would be offering dual citizenship to NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) and PIOs (Persons of Indian Origin) living in eight countries.
