Dubai: The 16th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (NRI Day) on Saturday ended up in disappointment for Indian expats in the UAE with no Pravasi Bharatiya Samman (NRI) Award being conferred to any individual or organisation here.
With more than 3.4 million Indian expats forming the largest expatriate group here, the UAE’s Indian diaspora had got three awards in the last edition of the biennial convention.
There was high expectation among the community members that at least one social worker or community organisation from here would be conferred the award this year also. However, not a single person or organisation out of around 25 nominations that were submitted from the UAE was considered for the award.
