WASHINGTON:  A top Indian official in Chicago has asked the Indian-American community in the city to participate in the development-centric initiatives by the Indian government.

The Indian nationals, persons of Indian origin and friends of India attended the 67th Republic Day Celebration  organized by the Consulate General of India in Chicago at its premises. The guests met the freezing cold weather to be a part of this celebration.

Indian governments flagship programmes as "Make in India", "Skills India", "Swacch Bharat Abhiyan", "Digital India", "Startup India", and "Green India" would give a big boost to the growth trajectory of the country, said Ausaf Sayeed, Consul General of Indian Consulate in Chicago.
