(b) Year-wise and purpose-wise details of number of Indians travelling abroad are enclosed at Annexure I. Year-wise and country-wise details of number of Indians travelling abroad are enclosed at Annexure II.

(c) to (e) To facilitate safe and legal migration of Indian workers abroad to ECR countries, Government has developed a comprehensive e-Governance portal (E-migrate). This initiative was made to make the emigration process fast and transparent and to address various complaints.  The project was operationalized in a phased manner from 26 th May 2014 onwards for various Protector of Emigrants (POE) offices and the process of granting of Emigration Clearance (EC) through all POE offices was made completely online w.e.f. 25 th September 2014. In pursuit of better migration management, the government has engaged and established institutional arrangements for labour migration and mobility of professionals with new and emerging destinations.

Government is also running Pre-Departure Orientation Training Programmes (PDOT) since 2018 through which prospective Indian emigrants are sensitized about the local rules and regulations of the destination country to avoid illegal overstay in the destination country.

Government has concluded  Migration   and   Mobility   Partnership  Agreements   (MMPA)   with   various countries.   Cooperation  to   stop   illegal   migration   and   human   trafficking   and   procedures   for   return   of   illegal immigrants is an important part of these MMPAs.
