The Malayali Diaspora refers to the Malayali people who live outside their homeland of the Indian state of Kerala and the Union Territories of Mahé, India and Lakshadweep.[18] They are predominantly found in the Persian Gulf, North America, Europe, Australia, Caribbean, Africa and other regions around the world.

Loka Kerala Sabha

Main article: Loka Kerala Sabha

The Loka Kerala Sabha is an assembly hosted by the Government of Kerala to bring the Malayali diaspora under one platform.[19] It was hosted under the Department of Non-Resident Keralites. It aims at utilizing the expertise of NRKs for developing Kerala as a state. The Loka Kerala Sabha is proposed to happen once in two years.[20] The event was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan.[21]
