The second edition of Pravasi Rajasthani Diwas 2026 is scheduled for 10 December 2026 at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC), Sitapura, Jaipur, bringing together Non-Resident Rajasthanis (NRRs) from across India and abroad alongside industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and youth to explore collaboration opportunities in Rajasthan's development. The event is organised by the Government of Rajasthan through its Department of Non-Resident Rajasthani Affairs (DORA).
Background and First Edition
Pravasi Rajasthani Diwas was initiated by the state government to strengthen Rajasthan's ties with its diaspora — both within India and overseas — and to offer a structured platform for NRRs to engage with the state, share expertise, and contribute to its growth. The inaugural edition, also held on 10 December 2025 at JECC, Jaipur, drew approximately 5,000 NRRs and delegates from India and abroad. The 2026 edition aims to build on that momentum with expanded participation and a broader agenda.
What the 2026 Edition Will Cover
The event will feature sector-specific sessions spanning tourism, urban development, industry, energy, and mining, alongside a dedicated session for the Pravasi Rajasthani community. Experts, industry representatives, and policymakers will discuss emerging trends, investment opportunities, and avenues for collaboration in each of these domains.
Beyond the diaspora, the gathering will engage a wider spectrum — including corporate representatives, startups, innovators, young professionals, and social sector organisations — with the goal of converting ideas into actionable partnerships that serve the state's development.
What the Government Said
Shikhar Agarwal, Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Non-Resident Rajasthani Affairs (DORA), underscored the event's intent: 'Pravasi Rajasthani Diwas is a testament to the unbreakable bond between Rajasthan and its people. The objective of this second edition is to create new opportunities for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and contribution. We invite Pravasi Rajasthanis, young professionals, entrepreneurs, corporate representatives, and every stakeholder connected to Rajasthan to participate in this event and become partners in the state's development journey.'
How to Participate
Delegates interested in attending Pravasi Rajasthani Diwas 2026 can register online through the official portal. The event's organisers are encouraging broad participation from NRRs, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and institutions with connections to or an interest in Rajasthan's growth story. With registrations open, the run-up to 10 December is expected to see increasing outreach to diaspora communities across major Indian cities and international hubs.
Point of View
Though those have had mixed records on converting conference pledges into on-ground investment. The real measure of the 2026 edition will be whether the networking translates into verifiable project commitments rather than goodwill optics. DORA's involvement suggests institutional intent, but a transparent tracking mechanism for post-event investment outcomes remains conspicuous by its absence in the current announcement.
