The Indian Consulate in Mandalay organized Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Mandalay on 9 January. The purpose of celebrating this day is its importance as to when Mahatma Gandhi returned to India from South Africa on this day in 1915 with the sole aim of freeing India from the British rule.  The Indian Consulate in Mandalay also organized World Hindi Day on 10 January to promote awareness about Hindi and creating an environment so that people love to speak Hindi in their daily life.
