When asked about the feasibility of such a herculean task, Guna puts it simply. ‘GOPIO was founded at the First Global Convention of People of Indian Origin in New York in 1989. The initial thrust of GOPIO was to globally network the widely spread PIOs in a large number of countries. GOPIO has now set its priorities in pooling our resources, both financially and professionally, for the benefit of PIOs and for the countries they come from’.
GOPIO visualizes the International PIO Community as an organized and dynamic group. The People of Indian Origin (PIOs) are one of the main Diasporas in the world. GOPIO promotes the well being of PIOs with the main objective of enhancing their socio-economic growth in this era of a global village.
