Being an educated and enterprising people, a large number of Mangaloreans have gone overseas for better prospects, in places as far apart as UK, USA, Middle East, East Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. These Non Resident Indian (NRI) citizens share a strong bond with their motherland and many wish to own a home in their place for various reasons like upbringing of children, providing care for parents and loved ones or for one’s one use during home visit or post retirement.
