PM Modi to release commemorative postage stamp on the sidelines of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas on 9th January

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release a commemorative postage stamp on the sidelines of Pravasi Bharatiya Divas on 9th of January. The postal stamp is dedicated to safe and legal migration of India's pravasis. Ministry of External Affairs had launched the "Surakshit Jayen Prashikshit Jayen" - Go Safe, Go Trained campaign. 

The goal of this campaign is to raise public awareness about the importance of using safe and legal channels while traveling for overseas employment. This will enable well-informed migrants to seamlessly integrate and have a safe and productive stay abroad.
