I attended the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2009, happened between 7th & 9th January 2009 at Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai. I have yet to receive the receipt for my participation. The conference costed me Rs.5138 and I am unable to get reimbursement from my department since I do not have the receipt. I have sent mails to the email addresses they gave and there was no response.
I do not know how many of the Indian origins who attended the conference underwent similar troubles. The conference is to gather NRIs and encourage them in investing in India. But if the organizers of the conference are this lethargic about even sending the receipt for attending the conference, I do not see any reason for the participants to have good mood to invest in India. Will they not think India is always like this and things are not done at pace? Anybody listening?
The e-mail I sent to organisers on Jan 2009 is attached below.
