Global Organization for People of Indian Origin

Global Organization for People of Indian Origin

Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) is an international network of people of Indian origin (PIO).

History

GOPIO was founded at the First Global Convention of People of Indian Origin in New York in 1989. The initial thrust of GOPIO was fighting human rights violation of people of Indian origin.

Although this has been improved in the last one decade, human rights violations continue to be a major issue for PIOs living outside India. GOPIO has now set its priorities in pooling its resources, both financial and professional, for the benefit of PIOs, the countries they come from and India.

The incumbent president of the GOPIO is P. P. Devaraj, a Tamil politician represents the Sri Lankan Tamils of Indian origin.
