      Solution

      Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) is celebrated once every two years on January 9. This observance was established in 2003 during the tenure of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and serves as a platform to recognize and honor the significant contributions of the overseas Indian community towards the development of India. The day also marks the return of Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to India, symbolizing the return of the Pravasi (expatriate) to their homeland.
