Dear Pravasi Brothers and Sisters, Boys and Girls: It gives me great pleasure in announcing the formation of Pravasi Conclave Trust and the opening of the administrative office in Ernakulam on 24th February 2020. Our Chairman has outlined the mission and vision of the Trust in his message. I look forward to the support of the entire Indian diaspora for making this venture with their active participation. We hope to act as a single voice of the Pravasi living outside India or returned after their life abroad. In addition to taking care of all the interests and welfare of the Pravasis we intend to resolve the difficulties OCI card holders are facing with a universally acceptable solution. We are preparing to form a tribunal for dispute resolution, reconciliation and arbitration with central government approval to take care of the difficulties as an agenda for the first year. We shall keep you updated on the progress. I have been a Pravasi for past 50 years having lived in Japan, Canada, China, Bahamas and working globally. For the past 17 years I am deeply involved with my activities in transforming a Kerala that cannot to a Kerala that can with a fair amount of success. In the past 17 years I faced several challenges and as such I am aware of many of the problems facing pravasis. Through all your support and unity among ourselves I strongly believe this is possible to a great extent. I seek and look forward to all your support. I would like to specially mention the support we received from several pravasis and the organisers of FOMAA, FOKANA, GOPIO, WMC and WMF , I like to extend my sincere thanks and seek their continued support. I like to mention special thanks to Mrs Anitha Joseph for providing us a rent free space in the heart of Ernakulam and to Mrs Alice Prince for providing the Computer and printer for the office. My sincere thanks to our Chairman Alex Koshy, Our Secretary Adv. C T Cyriac, Treasurer Balagopal, Administrator Anil Joseph and the 14 fellow trustees who actively participated and contributed to the formation of the Trust. Here is looking forward to a positive outcome of this venture.
