Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin:
Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) is an international network of people of Indian origin (PIO).
GOPIO was founded at the First Global Convention of People of Indian Origin in New York City in 1989.
The name GOPIO was adopted by the Steering Committee formed after the First Global Convention.
The initial thrust of GOPIO was fighting human rights violation against people of Indian origin.
Although this has been improved in the last decade, human rights violations continue to be a major issue for PIOs living outside India.
GOPIO has now set its priorities in pooling its resources, both financial and professional, for the benefit of PIOs, the countries they come from and India.
