| The NRI Parents Association (NRIPA) is a voluntary, non-profit, Karnataka
registered association that has about 175 members. It was launched on 1st January, 1998
and aims to address issues concerning parents of NRIs. Regular
meetings are held where general topics aired for discussion. Topics include stress
management, health issues, travel insurance, inheritance laws, and so on. These meetings
also serve as opportunities to socialise and discuss issues that are common to NRI
parents, who often feel lonely and isolated. An SOS cell has also been created to offer
non-medical backup to members in case of emergencies.
In addition, plans to improve the basic quality of life for its
members and the community in general. Efforts will be directed, for example, at airport
facilities, garbage collection, telecom services, elderly healthcare, electricity and
water supply, and so on.
NRIPA publishes a membership directory and also a quarterly
newsletter, Newscape. NRIPA plans to have chapters in other cities in India.
