NEW DELHI: Foreign minister S Jaishankar Tuesday stressed the critical role of skill development and international mobility in strengthening India's global presence , while underlining the importance of promoting legal mobility and prohibiting illegal migration.
He said while mobility is largely regulated by Emigration Act 1983 , which was designed to address the demands of a particular geography in a certain era, govt is currently reviewing the same.
"Times have changed and India's vistas have expanded. We need to be more promotional and aware of new possibilities, even while taking care of the vulnerable. This issue is currently being examined by the govt," he said, speaking at the launch of Global Access to Talent from India (GATI) Foundation.
He said it is crucial to nurture, expand, deploy, and upgrade talent. "Also to identify the opportunities within and beyond our borders. There is a demand in the world, an availability in India and the basic groundwork done to enable Indian talent to gain global access," said Jaishankar.
The minister said it's natural that as more Indians travel abroad, that the expectations they have of their govt are carried with them. "The last decade has brought up numerous situations where evacuation operations had to be undertaken. But even as a routine exercise, our citizens legitimately expect to be backed up in difficult situations," he said.
