Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (d) Indore
Explanation
· The 19th Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) Convention was held in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

Information Booster
· PBD is organized by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to recognise contributions of the Indian diaspora.
· Convention is held biennially: the 18th was in 2025; the 19th convention therefore corresponds to the next scheduled edition.
Additional Knowledge
· The first PBD was celebrated in 2003; over the years, host cities have included major cultural and commercial centres across India.
· PBD serves as a platform for overseas Indians to engage with policymakers in India — enabling exchange of ideas, investment, and diaspora-led initiatives.
