Loka Kerala Sabha
editThe Loka Kerala Sabha is an assembly hosted by the Government of Kerala to bring the Malayali diaspora under one platform.[19] It was hosted under the Department of Non-Resident Keralites. It aims at utilizing the expertise of NRKs for developing Kerala as a state. The Loka Kerala Sabha is proposed to happen once in two years.[20] The event was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan.[21]
