Dear Friends:

I am very happy to inform you that the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2010 was a grand success. Most notable is the great news of two Award winners from Japan for this year's Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award, the most prestigious Award for an NRI from the hands of the President of India.
The glittering function was held in Vigyan Bhavan on 9th January evening followed by a banquet dinner.

The recipients of the Award are:

Mr Ryuko Hira and

(Mrs) Dr Ruby Pawankar

This is a great honour to all Indians in Japan as there were two recipients of the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award this year.

This Award was received by the undersigned for the first time among Indians in Japan in Jan 2008. I was thrilled to be a part of the function in 2010.

With best wishes and good luck to all,
