| Abstract: | The term ‘Diaspora’ refers to the displacement of an individual, community or groups of people from the original homeland to an alien territory. A country’s Diaspora, and the Diasporas it hosts, can be a huge asset for its development. In the 21st century the Indian government has taken various positive steps to foster reconnection between India and its Diaspora. Indian Diaspora based on their knowledge, expertise and skill can really contribute in a constructive way in the development and the growth of the country. The present paper attempts to understand and explore the concept of diaspora, reviews government policies, and analyses benefits and challenges of diaspora engagement. |
