AN INSPIRING EVENT WITH INDIAN DIASPORA ELDERS

Ambassador H.E @gloriagangte had a heartwarming interaction with the Indian diaspora elders in Oslo. The room was filled with incredible stories of resilience, a deep love for Indian heritage and wisdom.

The Ambassador emphasised the vital role they play as the foundational pillars of the diaspora and serve as an invaluable living bridge between India and Norway. Their lifelong contributions have not only shaped the success of the diaspora but also continue to keep India’s cultural heritage vibrant and thriving abroad. She thanked community elders for their enduring contributions in strengthening India-Norway ties.

The Embassy also extended dedicated consular services at the venue to better support our senior citizens directly. This special desk assisted attendees with essential clarification / guidance for passport renewal, attestation, eOCI, and consular welfare services, providing seamless and accessible support to our elders.

The special highlight of the evening was the stories shared by the elders about their journey from India and building a new life in Norway. Hearing their journeys, sharing folk songs and anecdotes of their era, and receiving their blessings was incredibly inspiring.
