External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj inaugurated the country's first Videsh Bhavan at the Bandra Kurla Complex. As a pilot project, four offices of MEA - Regional Passport Office, Protector of Emigrants office, Branch Secretariat and Regional Office of ICCR - have been assimilated and brought under one roof. The pilot project of the Videsh Bhavan of Mumbai is part of the Centre's policy to bring together different offices of the MEA under a single roof and work closely with states as more and more Indians are going abroad for employment, education, business and tourism.
