Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced a 30-day free visa for Indonesian citizens and invited the diaspora to travel to their country of origin to experience the ‘New India’. Addressing a gathering of Indian diaspora at the Jakarta Convention Centre in the Indonesian capital, Modi said, “not only do the names of our nations rhyme but also there is a distinct rhythm in the India-Indonesia friendship.”
“We will grant free of cost visa for Indonesian citizens for travel of up to 30 days,” Modi said, amid applause. “Many of you may never have been to India. I invite you all to come to India for the Kumbh in Prayag next year,” Modi told the gathering.

Kumbh Mela is one of the largest human congregations on the Earth. Taking a dig at the previous governments, Modi said his first priority as a government was to make the country corruption free, citizen-centric and development friendly.
“Our government has been making India ready according to the need and expectations of the 21st century,” he said. “We have gone a step ahead of ‘Ease of Doing Business.’ Our focus is ‘Ease of Living.’ Our processes are transparent and sensitive,” Modi said. “We have to make a ‘New India’. We have to start working to realize the dream of New India by 2022 when India will celebrate 75 years of her independence,” Modi added.
