There are countless NRI associations in any foreign country that bind the people of Indian origin as a well-knit family.
While these welfare groups act as a social platform for sharing notes and enjoying the company of people who have similar cultural mores and ethos, the NRIs also use them as a springboard to showcase Indian values to rest of the society in their adopted countries.
Moreover, these social outfits act as a support system to a new migrant who needs time and understanding to adjust to a foreign society. Of course, hosting social get-togethers, events and cultural shows are quite common among these associations.
