## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

## [SHRI V. MURALEEDHARAN]

The Ministry of External Affairs does not capture detailed State-wise data on persons going abroad. The Ministry has data on emigration check required (ECR) passport holders and nurses who go for employment to the 18 ECR designated countries, as such persons need to take clearance through the Emigrate platform before being allowed to emigrate. According to this data, the number of persons who have emigrated from the State of Odisha district-wise, for employment may be seen at Annexure 'A'.

Majority   of   the   workers   have   gone   for   work   in  Construction,   welding, carpentary and technical sector.
