INDIA, DIASPORA ANDMIGRATION: AN OVERVIEW

India is one of the pioneers in recognising theimportance of its overseas population andestablishing an institutional framework for a

sustainable and mutually beneficial engagementwith its Diaspora. By creating an independentMinistry of Overseas Indian Affairs, India has givenmainstream attention to its estimated 25 millionstrong Overseas Indian community. Theexperience gained from bilateral and multilateralengagement with the Diaspora, and withmigration related institutions has helped usdevelop appropriate and well-calibratedinstitutional responses both for Diasporaengagement and migration management.

INDIA AND ITS DIAINDIA AND ITS DIAINDIA AND ITS DIAINDIA AND ITS DIAINDIA AND ITS DIASPORASPORASPORASPORASPORA

The Indian Diaspora, comprising People ofIndian origin and Non-Resident Indians, as Indiaitself, constitutes a heterogeneous and globalcommunity, representing diversity of forms, types,geographies and times of formation. It, therefore,requires diverse and distinct approaches to engagethem and connect with India. The common threadthat binds them together is the idea of India andits intrinsic values.

Historically, the dispersion of people fromIndia and the formation of Indian Diasporacommunities is the result of different waves ofmigration over hundreds of years driven by avariety of reasons: slavery under mercantilism,indentured labour under colonisation, and guestwork programmes post colonialism. Thistransnational engagement of people, riding onthe processes of globalisation has been reinforcedthrough global networks of families, friends and

businesses, which are symbiotic and which enablethe exchange of shared ideas of cultural, socialand economic interests.

In retrospect, the formation of the IndianDiaspora makes up an engaging saga of trials,tribulations and the eventual triumph ofdetermination and hard work. It pleases all Indianswhen the Overseas Indian community is respectedfor its work culture, discipline, and successfulintegration with the local community as much asbeing counted for its outstanding contributions intheir countries of residence. This communityhaving overcome considerable adversityrepresents an eminently successful Diaspora inthe host countries with several of its representativesoccupying leadership positions there. We couldlook at them as a significant strategic resourcefor India as they have considerably added toknowledge, innovation and development acrossthe globe.

Contemporary flows from India are of twokinds: the first is the emigration of highly skilledprofessionals, workers and students with tertiaryand higher educational qualifications migratingto developed countries, particularly to the USA,UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Thisflow started after Indian independence andgathered momentum with the emigration of ITprofessional in the 1990s. The second is the flowof unskilled and semi-skilled workers going mostlyto the Gulf countries and Malaysia, following theoil boom in the Gulf countries, mainly from Keralaand other south Indian states. Of late, howevernorthern states in India like Uttar Pradesh andBihar have also emerged as the leading states oforigin for such migration.

55555

Put together, these migratory flows haveresulted in diverse communities of people of Indianorigin in various parts of the world: East Asia, theMiddle-East Asia, South and Eastern Africa,Europe, North America, Australia, the northernpart of South America and the Caribbean Islands.These distinct communities of people of Indianorigin as well as Indian nationals living abroadconstitute the vast Indian Diaspora. There is nosingle homogeneous Overseas Indian community;there exist diversities within them, including in thelevel and degree of their engagement with India,defined by the lapse of time, generations anddistance that separate them from their country oforigin.

The Diasporas provide important links andcontact points between home and host societiesby building transnational networks which transactnot only emotional and familial bonds, but alsocultural, social and economic interests. Withadvances in information technology and cheapertransport services, the Diaspora, as compared tosituations prevailing earlier, are able to maintainconnections with people and networks back homemore effectively. Such Diaspora associations inhost countries impact and influence localbusinesses, even political decisions, therebyensuring a friendlier environment and outcomesfor the existing and prospective migrants. At thesame time, these Diaspora associations also helpto channel remittances, capital and investmentsto benefit not only home communities, but alsoby developing partnerships with host countrycounterparts, benefiting both. The same can besaid of the exchange of skills, cuisines, ideas,knowledge and technology.

As such, we can assume that such exchangesbetween host and home countries, leveragedthrough the Diaspora, are never unidirectional ortemporary or limited in scope. What remains awork in progress, however, is the formation ofmechanisms or patterns to engage the Diasporasto its full potential.

We cherish our relationship with the IndianDiaspora. Engaging with the Diaspora in asustainable and mutually rewarding manneracross the economic, social and cultural space isat the heart of the policy of the Ministry. Theendeavor of MOIA, is, to create conditions,partnerships and institutions that will best enable

India to connect with its Diaspora in a meaningfuland mutually rewarding way.

Such engagement has to take into accountthe fact that it is not necessary for all OverseasIndians to be a part of the development process.Not all of them need to make financialcontributions, nor do they need to relocate toIndia. 'Global Indians' can serve as bridges byproviding access to markets, sources ofinvestment, expertise, knowledge and technology;they can shape, by their informed participation,the discourse on migration and development, andhelp articulate the need for policy coherence inthe countries of destination and origin.

All of this requires not only the home countryto establish conditions and institutions for asustainable, symbiotic and mutually rewardingengagement with the Diaspora-which are centralto our programmes and activities; but for theDiaspora to project themselves as intrinsicallymotivated and progressive communities as well.

INDIA AND MIGRAINDIA AND MIGRAINDIA AND MIGRAINDIA AND MIGRAINDIA AND MIGRATIONTIONTIONTIONTIONGlobalisation has been a major factor

influencing the international movement of people.According to the United Nations, Department ofSocial and Economic Affairs, Population Division,more people than ever are living abroad. In 2013,232 million people, or 3.2 per cent of the world'spopulation, were international migrants,compared with 175 million in 2000 and 154million in 1990. Globally, women account for 48per cent of all international migrants. Accordingto International Organization of Migration's WorldMigration Report 2013, India is among the topfour migrant-sending and -receiving countriesafter the United States, the Russian Federationand Ukraine. In 2013, persons from Bangladeshresiding in India constituted the single largest"bilateral stock" of international migrants in theSouth (3.2 million) and 2.9 million (approx)international migrants from India were residingin the United Arab Emirates and 1.8 million inSaudi Arabia.

A wide range of considerations shape thepublic discourse on international migration: thegrowing mobility of labour in a globalisingeconomy, emerging population and demographicdynamics, integration issues as well as enhancedsecurity concerns. It is difficult to envision a world

66666

progressively integrating with the flow of capital,goods and services any movement of people. Thequestion is no longer whether to allow migration,but rather how to manage migration effectivelyto enhance its positive aspects. The challenge isto maximise the benefits from migration andtransform it into a win-all process for the countriesof origin, destination and the migrants themselves.Yet, realities, such as internal concern andeconomic downturns, the barriers to themovement of people also crop up.

In India, the migratory flows of the both skilledand the unskilled, have undergone changes dueto the pervasive economic restructuring underglobalization that creates opportunities as well aschallenges. In the case of unskilled migrants, thepolicy responses from public administration, bothin the countries of origin and destination, towardssafe and adequate legal protection to themigrants, continue to maintain its salience. Atthe same time, limiting the scope of irregularmigration primarily by ensuring transparentsystems and regulation for the transnationalmovement of people continues. While there arescattered good practices internationally, theseneed not only documentation but also customisedapplication and wider replication.

While there is a growing recognition of theopportunities that migration offers for economicgrowth, development and stability in host andhome countries; the public perception of migrantsremains hostage to powerful and misinformedassumptions and negative stereotypes of migrantsin host countries. Lower skilled migrants, inparticular, are often seen as displacing localworkers and abusing social welfare systems andthis mistrust grows with economic insecurity.Following the global economic downturn, thediscourse on migration has again become victimto populist and ill-informed debate with rising anti-immigrant sentiments spouted by fringe partiesin many countries. Even amongst moderates, theissue of integration of the overseas communitywith the host society continues to be a concern.

The truth is that migrants of all skill levelsconsiderably contribute to societies. They spawncreativity, nourish the human spirit and spureconomic growth. They bring diversity, provideinnovation and bring about economicdevelopment and growth in the host societies.

Even by a modest liberalisation of thetemporary movement of persons to provideservices under Mode 4 of the General Agreementon Trade in Services (GATS)-which by all accountsis only a small percentage of annual cross-bordermovements-has been projected to produce annualglobal welfare gains of between US$150 billionto US$200 billion, outstripping gains expectedfrom a further liberalization of the trade in services.Despite the potential benefits of liberalizing thetemporary movement of persons under GATSMode 4, most countries have made relativelylimited commitments under Mode 4, for reasonsbrought out above. Thus, there remains asubstantial incoherence between the trade andmigration regimes (both within and betweencountries).

One misinformed assumption is thatmigration takes place primarily in a South-Northdirection. According to the classification used bythe World Bank, in 2010, South-North movementsrepresented the largest migratory flow (45% ofthe total), followed by South-South (35%), North-North (17%) and North-South (3%).This is likelyto strengthen as developing countries grow at afaster rate. India itself is as much a country oforigin as that of destination and transit: a factwhich places us in a unique position in thediscourse on human resource mobility. It is in thiscontext that MOIA engages with a wide range ofacademia to collaborate on empirical andanalytical work to enable evidence-basedpolicymaking.

Therefore, there is as much a need to fosterinternational cooperation amongst countries oforigin and destination, as also for greater policycoherence amongst various departments ofgovernment, to enhance our ability to managemigration better in the medium to long term. Theapproach has been to work towards building aconsensus that can transform migration into anorderly and mutually beneficial economic processthat is a win-all for all stakeholders in both thecountries of origin and destination. India is wellplaced to contribute to developing a robust,harmonious and efficient migration framework.

The primary motivation for migration iseconomic and, at the heart of migrationmanagement, is the imperative to maximise thedevelopment impact of international migration forall. The scale and spread of the Indian experience

77777

of managing Migration as well as Developmentand the intimate interplay of these two complexprocesses is substantial. With the second-largestoverseas population, its status as the country thatreceives amongst the highest remittances, itsexperience in effectively addressing the problemsof poverty, inequality and unemployment in anunfailingly democratic manner, India can providethe much needed impetus to meaningfullyreinforce the symbiotic development-migrationparadigm.

India exemplifies the strengths of a large,tolerant, secular, live democracy with a pluralisticsociety in which people of different faiths,languages, ethnicities and political persuasionsco-exist and thrive. Indeed, this milieu is the 'sinequa non' of any society that can create conditionsfor positive migratory movements and labourmobility for the benefit of all.

Besides dealing with several matters relating toPIOs and NRIs, the Ministry is engaged in severalinitiatives with Overseas Indians in the promotionof trade and investment, emigration, education,culture, health, and science & technology, amongother areas. MOIA has policies, programmes andschemes that seek to meet the varied expectationsand needs of the diverse Overseas Indiancommunity under the following rubric:

• Awareness campaign on the risks of illegalmigration

• E-governance in Emigration• India Center for Migration• India Development Foundation of Overseas

Indians• Know India Programme• Mahatma Gandhi Pravasi Suraksha Yojana• Overseas Citizenship of India• Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre• Overseas Workers Resource Centre• Pravasi Bharatiya Bima Yojana• Pravasi Bharatiya Divas• Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra• Scholarship Scheme for Diaspora Children• Study India Programme

Overseas Indian workers constitute an importantsegment of the Indian Diaspora. Internationalmigration is, therefore, a strategic focus area forthe Ministry. Policy interventions as well as bilateralcooperation with destination countries constituteimportant focus areas of work of the Ministry. Indiahas already signed nineteen SSAs with 17countries. These are Belgium, Germany (forPosted Workers), Switzerland, France, Luxemburg,the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark, the CzechRepublic, Republic of Korea, Norway, Germany(Comprehensive SSA), Finland, Canada, Japan,Sweden, Austria, Portugal and an Understandingon Social Security (USS) with Quebec (a Provinceof Canada). Out of these, India has signed oneUnderstanding on Social Security (USS) withQuebec (a Province of Canada) during the year.We are likely to sign agreement on Social Securitywith Australia in the near future. The aim of theagreement is to avoid double social securitycontribution by Indian Workers, totalization ofcontribution and exportability of benefits.

In addition, the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD),along with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Awards,continues to be the flagship event of the Ministry.PBD commemorates the return of MahatmaGandhi - the first great Pravasi, from South Africato India to lead a successful non-violent strugglefor India's freedom. This programme also seeksto bring the expertise and knowledge of OverseasIndians on a common platform and integrate itinto the country's development process.

This Ministry organizes Regional Pravasi BharatiyaDivas (RPBD) to allow participation of the Indiandiaspora who are unable to attend annual PravasiBharatiya Divas in India. So far, 7 Regional PravasiBharatiya Divas have been held at New York,Singapore, The Hague, Durban, Toronto,Mauritius and Sydney. These have elicitedenthusiastic support from the Indian diaspora andthe local Government and have been highlysuccessful.

7th Regional Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (RPBD)Convention was organized by MOIA in Sydney,from 10th - 12th November, 2013 to haveinteraction & discussion with Indian Diaspora toensure their connectivity with their ancestralmotherland as well to know their expectations andconcerns. Secondly, the guiding spirit of thedecision to hold the 7th RPBD in Australia wason account of the sentiments of the Indiandiaspora in the region. Australia, New Zealand,Fiji, and Papua New Guinea represent animportant region for our diaspora, and the Indiancommunity has been taken note of by theleadership of all political parties, there.

The theme of the PBD Convention in Sydney was"Connecting for a Shared Future: The Indian

Diaspora, India and the Pacific". This wasappropriate, as the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas seeksto reach out to both members of the Indian origincommunity as well as all those persons who areinterested in plugging into India's growingrelationship with Australia and its neighbouringcountries.

The programme for the event included aninaugural session on Sharing Experiences andbreakout sessions on different topics includingBilateral Business Opportunities in Services,Resources, Primary Commodities, Engagementthrough Culture, Indian Languages, Skills,Infrastructure (Airports, Ports, Road andConstruction), Manufacturing, Education, Cultureand Youth Dialogue.

Issues related with desertion of Indian women bytheir overseas spouses are complex and sensitive.They also fall within the purview of privateinternational law.

MIGRATION MANAGEMENT

I.I.I.I.I. Legislative RLegislative RLegislative RLegislative RLegislative Reformseformseformseformseforms

The Ministry realizes that there is a need toredefine the scope of regulation, redesign theemigration process by setting standards anddefining the roles and responsibilities of keystakeholders in the emigration process with theobjective of making emigration an orderlyeconomic process. There is a need to modernizethe legislative framework as in the Emigration Act,1983 and the Emigration Rules that governsemigration of Indians for overseas employment.It will facilitate legal migration, preventingirregular migration and empowerment ofemigrants. The Ministry continued with theprocess of inter-ministerial consultation onproposed Emigration Management Bill (EMB)embodying a paradigm shift in the managementof emigration.

The bill under consideration also provides for:

(a) Emigration Management Authority (EMA) -will replace the existing institutionalframework of the Protector General ofEmigrants assisted by several Protectors ofEmigrants in the field. It will be anautonomous institution headed by aChairman and will consist of two full timeMembers and one part-time Member. TheChairman and Members will be selected by ahigh level selection committee headed by theCabinet Secretary.

(b) Regulation of all Recruiting Agencies: Underthe 1983 Act only those Recruiting Agentsfall within the purview of the Act who recruitlow-skilled workers, while those who recruithigh-skill workers and professionals remainoutside the ambit of law. Under the new Bill,entire recruitment industry for overseasemployment, irrespective of the nature ofemployment for which they recruit workers,will be regulated.

(c) Accreditation of Employers in case ofrecruitment for notified countries: There is aprovision under the existing act for theattestation of employment documents byIndian missions abroad. This may lead toforging of such documents. To address thisissue, the proposed Bill seeks to replace theattestation system by a system of accreditationof employers who recruit emigrant workersin the low skilled category / workers holdingpassports that require emigration checks forcertain countries (that have been notified bythe Government) in which emigrants are at aparticularly high risk of exploitation or abuse.

(d) Automatic registration of Recruiting Agencies(RAs): The registration of RAs will beautomatic so that there is no scope fordiscretion and malpractices in the registrationprocess. For this purpose, an enablingprovision has been made to empower theEMA to lay down minimum eligibility criteriafor the registration of RAs. Further, thecertificate of registration has to be issued bythe EMA within a period not exceeding sixmonths.

(e) Duties and responsibilities of key players:Specific duties and responsibilities of the RAsand employers will be laid down.

(f) Regulation of Enrolment Agencies: Agenciesin the business of enrolment of citizens of Indiafor studying at foreign educational institutionsor providing consulting services for suchenrolment will also have to register with theEMA in the same manner as the RAs withadaptations and modifications as appropriate.

(g) Emigration Clearance to be replaced byregistration of emigrants With a view tofacilitate emigration: and capture datarelating to all categories of emigrants to avoidmalpractices, every citizen of India leaving thecountry for overseas employment will berequired to register with the Authority before

2121212121

his departure. Similarly, every student leavingthe country for studies at a foreign educationalinstitution will intimate his particulars to theAuthority before his departure by filling anonline form.

(h) Blacklisting of employers: Under the existingAct, there is no provision to debarunscrupulous employers who indulge in theexploitation of high-skill emigrants. To addressthis, the proposed Bill has a provision for theblacklisting of such employers with a view todebarring them from future recruitments fromIndia.

(i) Sub-Agents: Under the existing law the RAsare not permitted to employ sub-agents.However, in reality thousands of sub-agentsare regularly employed by RAs to assist themin recruiting workers from the remote villagesand towns of the countr y. Due to theprohibition on employment of sub-agents,there is little scope for improving theirfunctioning and subjecting them to anystandards. The proposed Bill addresses thisby allowing the RAs to engage sub-agentsubject to compliance of certain standards.

(j) Performance Standards and rating: Theproposed Bill seeks to enable the recruitmentmarket to encourage ethical recruitmentpractices and eliminate unethical practices.For this purpose, the new Bill provides forlaying down performance standards, regularperformance monitoring and periodical ratingof RAs and employers. Poor ratings will leadto the cancellation of the registrationcertificate of RAs and the cancellation of theaccreditation of employers. The ratings willbe placed in the public domain to empowerthe society and the potential emigrants tomarginalize unethical recruiters.

(k) Enabling provisions for welfare and otherschemes and bilateral MoUs: Under theproposed Bill enabling provisions have beenmade for formulating welfare schemes andinsurance schemes, skill upgradation, pre-departure orientation etc. An enablingprovision has also been made for the smoothimplementation of bilateral labour MoUs,international treaties etc.

(l) Penal provisions: Penal provisions have beenstrengthened in the proposed Bill. A newchapter has been added for the prevention ofhuman smuggling and exploitation of

emigrants. Specific provisions have beenmade criminalizing the production orpossession of fake and fraudulent travel andother documents with a view to curbing illegalemigration and human smuggling. Themaximum penalty has been enhanced fromtwo years to five years' imprisonment. Thequantum of fine has also been enhanced from 2,000 to 1,00,000 rupees. In the case of

the exploitation of women and minors, apunishment of not less than five years'imprisonment and fine not less than Rs. 1 lakhhas been provided.

(m) Creation of a Grievance Redressal Authority:A new provision has been added for theappointment of a Grievance RedressalAuthority who shall hear grievances arisingout of recruitment, emigration and overseasemployment under this Act. The GrievanceRedressal Authority shall hear and dispose ofcomplaints within a specified time and itsorders shall be binding.

The Ministry has done away with the requirementof "ECR Suspension" to enable ECR passportholders to travel on visit visa without obtainingany clearance from the POE.

The Ministry has also liberalized the emigrationsystem by restricting the application of theemigration process only to those possessingeducational qualification below Class-X (ECRpassport) and those going for work to only 18countries (ECR countries). All the remainingcountries have been notified as Emigration CheckNot Required (ECNR) countries.

eMigrate project is designed for facilitatingemigration of ECR category emigrants going tonotified countries for employment purpose. Theproject will help in making the recruitment ofworkers hassle free process and curtailmalpractices adopted by Recruiting Agents andemployers.

eMigrate will provide MOIA, a comprehensive andonline database of emigrants, Recruiting Agents,Foreign Employers to make the whole emigrationcycle faster and authentication of credentials ofabove mentioned stakeholders quicker.Comprehensive database will auto detect any

2222222222

foreign employers with complaint cases pendingagainst them and alert POE officials at the timeof clearances of new recruitment for these foreignemployers.

eMigrate will be integrated with Passport SevaProject (PSP) of MEA for validation of passportdetails of the ECR category workers beingregistered. This integration will help in detectingfake passport cases and checking data entry errorat registration stage itself. eMigrate is alsointegrated with Bureau of Immigration system ofMHA, used at Immigration Check Post (ICP) atairports for online validation of the emigrationclearance granted by POEs. Integration with BoIsystem would also enable eMigrate system torecord departure details of the ECR categoryworkers. It could also reduce the time needed forverification at ICP at airports for ECR categoryworkers. The three ministries MEA, MOIA, andMHA play a pivotal role in regulating the mobilityof Indian emigrants and take care of their welfare.Therefore the integration of eMigrate with thesetwo systems will make the system more effectiveand provide the enhanced capability to Govt ofIndia in helping its overseas citizen. eMigrate willbe the first system of the country to be integratedwith PSP and BoI systems.

eMigrate system is also integrated with insuranceagencies providing PBBY (Pravasi Bhartiya BimaYojna) so that the genuineness of the PBBYinsurance policy details being submitted at thetime of emigration clearance will be verified andprevent submission of fake details. Therefore incase of any emigrant eventuality, emigrant/dependent will be able to make the claim againstsuch policy and avail the benefits of the policy.The eMigrate system will also allow to raiseinsurance claims in case of emigrant eventualityby OWRC (Overseas Workers Resource Center)personnel, emigrant himself/herself, friends orrelatives of emigrant etc. Emigrants themselvesor their kins/ relatives will also be able to raisegrievances against employers, recruiting agentsetc through eMigrate system and help MOIA toanalyze the problems faced by Indian workers andprovide them necessary support.

Comprehensive database of eMigrate system willhelp India Center for Migration (ICM) to studyand analyze the trend of migration of Indianworkers.

eMigrate project also has a provision forregistration of Indian students travelling abroadfor study and ECNR category of Indian workerstravelling for work for non-notified countries.However these provisions will be enabled oncethe legislative ambit is provided for the same.

The Ministry is currently rolling out eMigrateproject for PoE (Protector of Emigrants) officeDelhi. After POE Delhi, the project is expected tobe rolled out for rest of the POE offices located indifferent parts of the country by July 2014.

Mahatma Gandhi Pravasi Suraksha Yojana(MGPSY) is a specially designed social securityscheme for the unskilled and semi-skilled OverseasIndian workers, with ECR passports working in ECRcountries. The scheme was initially launched inIndia by this Ministry on 1st May 2012 and wassubsequently launched by the HMOIA in UnitedArab Emirates on 28th October 2013 at CGI Dubai.The scheme is presently available for workers tosubscribe across India and in UAE.

The objective of MGPSY is to encourage andenable overseas Indian workers by giving co-contribution to:

(a) Save for their return and resettlement in India

(b) Save for their pension

(c) Obtain complimentary life insurance coverduring the period of overseas employment.

MGPSY offers a specially designed bouquet of threewell-regulated and independently managedexisting schemes in market, namely:

(a) National Pension Scheme (NPS)-Lite

(b) UTI's Monthly Income Scheme (Mutual Fund)and

(c) LIC of India's Aam Aadmi Bima Yojana (AABY)

The main attraction of the scheme is thegovernment contribution which is offered to thesubscribers for a maximum period of 5 years or tillthe return of workers to India (whichever is earlier),and is subject to following criteria:

2525252525

(a) A contribution of 1000 per annum persubscriber by MOIA will be provided to all eligiblesubscribers who save between 1000 and 12000 per year towards their pension savings.

i. An additional contribution of 1000 perannum by MOIA will be provided to allwomen subscribers who meet the abovecriteria.

ii. All eligible workers (both male and female)will get an additional contribution of 1000per annum from the Swavalamban schemeof Government of India.

(a) An annual government contribution of 900per annum by MOIA will be provided to alleligible subscribers who save at least 4000per annum towards Return and Resettlementfund (UTI-MIS under MGPSY).

(b) A free of cost Life Insurance cover (groupinsurance premium paid by MOIA) is providedto all subscribers who join MGPSY so that thefamilies of these workers receive a reasonablecompensation in case of uneventful death ordisability of the wage earner.

The MGPSY scheme is distributed through anetwork of Service Providers appointed by Ministry.These service providers are existing NPS-Liteaggregators appointed by the PFRDA and areauthorized AMFI registered distributors of the UTI-Mutual Fund. As on date, Ministry has appointed5 public sector banks (Bank of Baroda, Indian Bank,State Bank of Travancore, Canara Bank, andCorporation Bank), and 3 private sector entities(ESAF Microfinance and Investment Pvt Ltd, IFMRRural Finance Pvt Ltd. and Alankit AssignmentsLtd) having a large network of branches/officesacross India and in the ECR countries, to distributeMGPSY and provide maintenance services to theseoverseas Indian workers. Apart from above, Ministryis continuously adding more service providers underthe scheme to promote healthy competition amongthem to implement the scheme in a better way.

In order to get information about the scheme, howto enroll or about the subscribers investment detailsthe Indian overseas workers can also reach out tothe toll free numbers of Overseas Workers ResourceCentre (OWRC) - 1800 113 090 (toll free in India)and Indian Workers Resource Centre (IWRC) - 80046342 (toll free in UAE).

Further to ensure hassle free registration ofsubscribers and the recordkeeping of subscriber vital

data, Ministry has appointed NSDL e-GovernanceInfrastructure Ltd to put in place the MGPSYRecordkeeping System (MRKS). The system isalready in use and other than providing onlineregistration facility it also ensure the seamlessportability to the workers enrolled in MGPSYirrespective of their employment or country of work.

For secure transaction of the investment amountand channelizing contributions to the schemepartners, the Ministry has appointed Bank ofBaroda as their banking partner. The investmentin the scheme is done by directly debiting the NRE/NRO account of the subscribers. The same accountcan be used for disbursement of the benefits in thescheme.

Having established the complete enrollmentprocesses under MGPSY, Ministry is currentlyfocusing upon creating mass scale awareness aboutthe scheme among Indian overseas workers. In thisregard, Ministry plans to carry out a comprehensivemedia camps supported by subscriber awarenessprograms in various labour camps in all majorlabour receiving countries. This will in turn facilitatethe enrollment of the subscriber in the scheme bymaking the scheme available to him at the doorstep of the Indian overseas workers.

The Ministry is looking forward to rollout MGPSYin other ECR countries in a phased manner toensure that the overseas Indian workers working inECR countries are able benefit from it.

One of the problems faced by the intendingemigrants is difficulty in accessing authentic andtimely information relating to overseasemployment, Recruiting Agencies and emigrationprocedures etc. Non-availability of suchinformation makes the emigrants dependent onintermediaries and vulnerable to exploitation.

To overcome this difficulty, Ministry launched theOverseas Workers Resource Centre (OWRC) toprovide information and assistance to intendingemigrants, overseas workers as well as their familymembers relating to all aspects of overseasemployment. The OWRC was inaugurated by thePrime Minister of India during the 6th PravasiBharatiya Divas in New Delhi in January, 2008.The OWRC is operating with a 24x7x365 toll freehelpline (1800 11 3090) to provide need-basedinformation to emigrants and their families.

Witha view to extend the services to support the Indianemigrants, an international toll-free line (8 000911 913) has been established, which is currentlyavailable for calls from UAE. The complaints orgrievances received on the toll-free helpline arepromptly attended to and feedback provided tothe complainant. The helpline numbers aredisseminated as a part of the multimediaawareness campaign organised by the Ministry.From January 2011 to March, 2014 total numberof 3,11,806 calls were received.

The Ministry has also set up Migrant ResourceCentre, (MRC) at Kochi in Kerala, Hyderabad inAndhra Pradesh and Panchkula in Haryana. TheMRC performs functions similar to that of OWRC.The Ministry intends to replicate the MRC modelin other states as well. Ministry regularly carriesout multi-media awareness campaigns foreducating the emigrants about emigrationprocedures, the pitfalls of illegal emigration andthe precautions to be taken during recruitmentand overseas employment.

The OWRC centre also trained the personnel fromdifferent MRC's to make them understand and

learn the functioning of the Call Flow Systemwhich helped the emigrants to utilize knowledgein the best possible manner.

The scope of work of the OWRC Helpline hasbeen enhanced to provide walk in counseling,development of interactive web-site, namely,www.owrc.in with effect from 31 December, 2010.Complaints can also be lodged through theOWRCs website and via mail.

India's strength in terms of availability of youngand highly skilled workforce is widelyacknowledged. This strength can be leveragedby countries of destination to meet their labourand skill shortages. Labour mobility is the onlylong term solution for sustaining global growthrates in the face of factors like demographicasymmetry and globalization of economies. AHuman Resources Mobility Partnership can laydown an effective framework for bilateralcooperation for maximizing benefits from labourmobility and minimizing its risks. It can alsoeffectively address the concerns of the countriesof destination such as irregular migration andintegration problems. It provides an opportunityto both partners to jointly develop and implementgood practices in labour migration.

It is important to position international labourmobility as a win-win for the countries of origin,the countries of destination and the migrantworkers. It is in this context that the Ministry ofOverseas Indian Affairs is taking steps to buildhuman resources mobility partnerships with keycountries of destination in the European Union.A human resources mobility partnership has beensigned with Denmark. Negotiations with theNetherlands have also been concluded. TheMinistry has initiated the process for negotiatinghuman resources mobility partnership withAustralia, France, Switzerland, Sweden andEuropean Union.

Since India and the EU countries havecomplementary needs, the proposed HumanResources Mobility Partnerships will immenselyhelp both sides. It will also provide a model thatcould be replicated elsewhere. The social securityagreements that the Ministry is pursuing with theEU countries provide excellent support to theHuman Resources Mobility Partnerships byprotecting the workers against dual contributionfor social security and loss of contributions. In fact,

the two agreements together would pave the wayfor a lasting and mutually rewarding relationshipbetween India and the EU Member States in thearena of international labour migration. SinceIndia is fast emerging as a country of destinationalso on account of its rapid economic growth andinvestment from overseas, the Human ResourcesMobility Partnership would greatly benefit the EUnationals in the times to come.

IX.IX.IX.IX.IX. Bilateral Social SecurityBilateral Social SecurityBilateral Social SecurityBilateral Social SecurityBilateral Social SecurityAgreements (SSA)Agreements (SSA)Agreements (SSA)Agreements (SSA)Agreements (SSA)

Most countries have an umbrella social securitysystem mandated by law. It is funded through amandatory social security tax collected from allworkers and their employers (in a prescribed ratio).The system provides multiple benefits like old agepension, disability insurance, health insurance andunemployment insurance. Typically thecontribution is in the form of a fixed percentageof income subject to a maximum lump-sum limit.All expatriate workers are also required to paysocial security tax as per the law of that country.India has similar mandatory social securitycoverage for all establishments that employ morethan 20 employees. All employers and employeesin such establishments or any of theestablishments notified under the EmployeesProvident Fund Act 1952 are required tomandatorily contribute (in a prescribed ratio)towards social security. Presently there are 187types of establishments so notified.

Professionals are mostly posted (detached) todestination countries by their employers. Whilethey continue to make social security contributionin the home country as per the local law, they arecompelled to pay social security tax in the hostcountry too, leading to double contribution.Expatriate workers (whether detached orotherwise) often do not get any benefit from thesocial security contribution paid abroad on theirreturn home on completion of the term of contractbecause most countries do not allow export ofsocial security benefits. Often the host countrieshave a minimum contribution period under theirlaw and so the worker does not qualify to receivesocial security benefits if he stays and pays in thehost country for a lesser period, thereby losingthe entire contribution. Another disadvantage isthat due to the high rate of social security tax,double taxation erodes the competitive edge ofcompanies on both sides.

2828282828

Bilateral Social Security Agreements (SSA) can,on a reciprocal basis, protect the interests of suchworkers by exempting the posted workers fromsocial security contribution under the host countrylegislation for a certain period of time (providedthe worker continues to pay his contribution underthe home country system during the period ofdetachment) and by providing for portability ofpension in case of those who have to contributeunder the host country legislation. In order toprevent loss of contribution on account of theminimum contribution period, the SSAs providefor totalization of contribution periods coveredunder the two legislations. Such agreements alsomake companies of both contracting States morecompetitive since exemption from social securitycontribution in respect of their employeessubstantially reduces costs.

Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has signedbilateral social security agreements with Belgium,France, Germany (Social Insurance), Switzerland,Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Hungar y,Denmark, The Czech Republic, Republic of Korea,Germany (comprehensive SSA), Norway, Finland,Canada, Japan, Sweden, Austria, Portugal andan Understanding on Social Security with Quebec(a Province of Canada). These agreementsprovide for the following benefits to professionals,skilled workers and corporates on reciprocal basis:

(a) Those posted for upto sixty months ( except24 months in case of Sweden, 48 months inGermany and 72 months in Switzerland) willbe exempted from social securitycontributions under the host country lawprovided they continue to make socialsecurity payments in the home country.

(b) Those who contribute under the host countrylaw will be entitled to the export of the socialsecurity benefits should they relocate to thehome countr y or a third countr y oncompletion of their contract or on retirement.

(c) These benefits will also be available to workersposted by an employer of the home countryto the host country from a third country.

(d) Periods of employment in both the countrieswill be totalized in order to determine theeligibility for pension.

(e) Corporates in both countries will becomemore competitive since avoidance of doublepayment of social security substantiallyreduces costs.

Similar agreement finalized with Australia isexpected to be signed shortly. Negotiations are inprogress with Russia, Thailand, Spain and SriLanka. Two rounds of exploratory talks have beenheld with the USA.

ICM was set up in 2007 as a not-for-profit society.It was initially established as Council for Promotionof Overseas Employment (CPOE) which was laterchristened Indian Council of OverseasEmployment (ICOE) which was later re-christenedas ICM in 2012. In a rapidly globalizing worldcharacterized by competition amongst the laboursending countries for optimizing benefits frominternational labour migration, there is a need tobring a strategic dimension to the process ofemigration of Indians in search of employmentand to forge partnerships that will best serve Indiaas a supplier of skilled and trained manpower andmeet the expectations of the Overseas IndianWorkers (OIW) as a significant constituency acrossthe world.

In order to make Indian workers globallycompetitive there was an urgent need for aproactive national body to lead the following keyinterventions:

(a) Commission studies on the Internationallabour markets and identify emergingoverseas employment opportunities for theIndian youth.

(b) Positioning of potential Overseas IndianWorkers as "consumers" of employmentservices provided by the private recruitmentindustry.

(c) Projecting India as a supplier of skilled,trained and qualified workers.

(d) Adapting training material developed by ILO/IOM for specific States/country and gender.

The Ministry has therefore established the "IndiaCentre for Migration", as a Society under theSocieties Registration Act of 1860. The Centre isa two-tier body comprising a Governing Counciland an Executive Directorate. The GoverningCouncil is headed by Secretary, MOIA andcomprises experts, state Government nomineesand central government nominees. It provides thebroad policy framework for the programmes andactivities of the Centre in consonance with its

2929292929

objectives. The day-to-day management of theCentre is vested in the Executive Directorate. TheExecutive Director is the Chief Executive Officerof the Centre.

The Centre per forms the following broadfunctions:

(a) Build and maintain a database on emergingcountr y/sector specific employmentopportunities abroad.

(b) Identify labour supply gaps in overseas labourmarkets and the skill sets required by Indianworkers to fill those gaps.

(c) Initiate programs for skill development andskill upgradation in consultation withprofessional bodies and the private sector andpromote employment opportunities abroad.

(d) Initiate pre-departure orientation programsfor various categories of workers.

(e) Coordinate with other employmentpromotion agencies, including the statemanpower development corporations, projectmanpower suppliers and foreign employers.

(f) Initiate and support the study, monitoring andanalysis of the trends and dynamics ofinternational labour market, problems facedby the emigrant Indian workers in India andabroad, benchmark the best practices ofother labour sending countries andrecommend policy initiatives/strategies.

The Centre has the autonomy and flexibility tobuild strong public-private partnerships, engageproactively in capacity building across stake-holders and best implement well calibratedstrategies for better market access for Indian

workers to benefit from overseas employmentopportunities in the medium to long-term.

The Centre has signed MOU with EuropeanUniversity Institute regarding research onmigration of labour between EU and India, MOUwith Helenic Migration Policy Institute, Athens.India EU Scientific Group on Migration Policy wasformed. ICM had also launched a scheme ofresearch Internship Programme with JNU andBangalore University.

The Centre has also started a project on SkillDevelopment Initiative in North East for PotentialMigrants from the North-Eastern States of Indiasince August 2011. This will provide gainfulemployment opportunities for the youth andwomen in the North-Eastern region, in all the eightstates. The Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs(MOIA) is the principal anchor of this project.International Organization for Migration (IOM)has been identified to implement this prestigiousProject under the guidance of the India Centrefor Migration (ICM).

Under the Project, seven international vocationalqualifications (IVQs) are being developed withfocus on short, relevant and effective modules thatwill help potential migrants in the overseas jobmarkets. The IVQs cover hospitality, healthcareand education sectors training 10,000 youth andwomen. The Project works on the basis of twomodels, franchise and university embeddedmodels which use standard training, testing andcertification to increase the effectiveness of theproposed framework. This internationallyrecognized certification will ensure that traineesare employable anywhere in the world.
