The term "NRI" stands for "Non-Resident Indian," referring to Indian citizens who live outside of India. NRIs maintain their Indian citizenship while residing in foreign countries for work, education, or other reasons. They often contribute to the Indian economy through remittances and investments. NRI communities can be found in various countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. These individuals often engage in cultural exchanges, maintaining ties to their Indian heritage while adapting to their new environments. Many NRIs participate in local Indian organizations and celebrate traditional festivals, fostering a sense of community abroad.
