Yaadhum Oorae Global Conclave 2020

The Tamil speaking community spread across the globe has been at the helm of not just the corporate world but also participates in the governance of most of the countries. To strengthen and bring together the Tamil Diaspora, the Hon’ble Chief Minister Thiru Edappadi K Palansiwami announced the first of its kind initiative special forum for Non-Resident Tamil Cell ‘Yaadhum Oorae’ and launched during his official visit to the United States last year.

Continuing the engagements with the diaspora community, the Guidance is organising a virtual 3-day Global Yaadhum Oorae conclave in the last week of October 2020. Themed on ‘Redefining the engagements with Tamil Diaspora’, this summit will be an illustration of a well-established Tamil association and to celebrate the Tamil fraternity across the world with its inherent vibrant traditions, language and international trade while also capturing the cultural and entrepreneurial spirit of the state.
