Ministry of External Affairs

List of Indian Workers Abroad

Posted On: 19 JUL 2017 6:24PM by PIB Delhi

  Some States have inter-alia requested for sharing of data of Indians working in Gulf countries from the concerned States during a recent conference held by Ministry of External Affairs with State Governments. This data is placed at Annexure. List of Indians working in Gulf countries from a specific State will be provided to the concerned State Government separately.

 

            India has bilateral agreements on ‘Transfer of Sentenced Persons’ with several countries including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.  

 

Several suggestions were received during the Conference with State Governments by the Ministry. Some of the key suggestions were:

 

(i)      Posting of language translators in Missions abroad;

 

(ii)     Early dispatch of mortal remains of Indian workers from overseas;

 

(iii)    Pravasi Bhartiya Bima Yojna (PBBY) to be extended to Emigration Check Not Required (ECNR) passport holders also;

 

(iv)    Taking stern action against illegal agents in different States;

 

(v)     Opening of more POE offices in U.P., Bihar, Dehradun and North East States;

 

(vi)    Synchronization of Skill Development initiatives with Overseas Employment etc.

 

Action on these suggestions is under process.
