The community development by the indians living abroad and their role in community development back home.

Abstract

This study examines on Indians living abroad and their role in community development back home. It looks at the motivations driving them to be involved in their home country and the various strategies they use to contribute to their communities. It considers the advantages and disadvantages of this type of involvement and discusses ways in which Indians living abroad can be more effective in their efforts. The results of this study have the potential to influence both policy and practice in the areas of the participation and community development carried out by Indians now residing in other countries. Overall, the findings suggest that there is a need for more diaspora-driven community development initiatives, as well as more opportunities for the members to get involved in the process of community development back home.
