Besides Punjab, the participating states are Bihar, Rajasthan, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Telangana and West Bengal. The union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands has also confirmed participation, the embassy said here.

The primary objective of the event is to improve delivery of services for expat Indians by working together with various Indian associations and organisations active in the UAE. The conference will afford an opportunity to the Indian community and its representatives to interact directly with representatives of state governments and apprise them of the issues being faced by them in the UAE as well as back home in India. It will also afford an opportunity to the representatives of the states to explain about the various activities and schemes being undertaken by them for welfare of NRIs. This is a first initiative of its kind.
