Explanation:

Know India Programme (KIP) is a flagship initiative for Diaspora engagement which familiarizes Indian-origin youth (18-30 years) with their Indian roots and contemporary India, through a three-week orientation programme organised by the Ministry of External Affairs.

It include a 10-day visit to one or two States and preference given to PIOs from Girmitiya countries.

Girmitiya countries: Girmitiya was the name given to the generation of Indians who left the country in the middle and late 19th century to serve as labours in the then British colonies. Later, as a part of the exchange slave trade, from Mauritius, they were sent to other countries including South Africa, Fiji and Vietnam.
