                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 14, 2019

  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a member of the 
community who this year will serve as a delegate to the 15th Pravasi 
Bharatiya Divas celebration, which will be held in Varanasi, India from 
January 21 to 23.
  Dr. Mistry was born in India but emigrated to the United States in 
1978. She has served the community as a pediatric dentist, delivering 
high quality treatment and care to young children and teenagers in New 
York for the past 38 years.
  The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas event occurs every two years, and is an 
opportunity for the Government of India to recognize the contributions 
made by the overseas Indian community. This year, the Pravasi Bharatiya 
Divas is associated with two other major events for India, the Kumbh 
Mela and India's 70th Republic Day. By including Dr. Mistry among the 
delegates for the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, the celebration is further 
enriched because of her tremendous contributions to the Tarrytown 
community.
  Congratulations to Dr. Mistry on receiving this wonderful and well-
deserved recognition.
