Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday announced two new Indian Consulates in Boston and Los Angeles, along with a Thiruvalluvar Chair of Tamil studies at the University of Houston. These initiatives would further the living bridge between India and its diaspora in the United States, according to an official statement.
"Last year, I declared that our govt would open a new consulate in Seattle, it has been started now. We have also sought suggestions for two new consulates. I am happy to tell you that after your suggestion, India has decided to open two new consulates in Boston and Los Angeles," he said while addressing a large gathering of Indian-Americans at the Nassau Coliseum in New York.
