## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI KIRTI VARDHAN SINGH)

(a)   Ministry maintains data in respect of Indian workers, holding Emigration   Check   Required   (ECR)   passports,   proceeding   for employment to any of the notified ECR category countries, through e-Migrate portal. State-wise data of Indian workers, including those from the State of Bihar, who have been issued Emigration Clearance (EC) through eMigrate for employment abroad during the last ten years, are given in Annexure-I.

(b) As per information available, the number of Indian nationals, who have been deported from foreign countries for various reasons, is given in Annexure-II.

(c to e)   The Government of India accords highest priority to the safety, protection and well-being of Indian workers abroad. There are   established   channels   to   enable   them   to   reach   out   to   the Embassy/Consulate in case they need any assistance. They can

contact the Embassy/Consulate through walk-in, email, multilingual 24x7 emergency numbers, WhatsApp number, grievance redressal portal like MADAD/CPGRAMS/eMigrate, and social media etc. There are   dedicated   Labour   Wings   in   Indian   Missions/Posts   abroad   for handling such matters, where there is a sizeable number of Indian migrant workers. Pravasi Bharatiya Sahayata Kendras have been set up in key locations such as New Delhi, Dubai, Riyadh and Jeddah to provide guidance and counselling to the Indian workers.

On receipt of  any   complaint   or   grievance   from   Indian   nationals including labourers, the Embassy/Consulate pro-actively takes it up with the concerned Foreign Employer and, if needed, the work place of the aggrieved worker is also visited. The issues are also taken up with the local Labour Department and other concerned authority of the host country for prompt redressal.

Indian Missions/Posts regularly organize Open Houses and Consular Camps in remote areas to get feedback from Indian workers residing in such areas and to address their grievances, if any.

Further, as additional safeguard for protection and safety of the female workers (including domestic sector workers), Government has authorized only State run Recruiting Agencies (RAs) to recruit Indian female workers holding ECR category passports for overseas employment in notified ECR Countries through the e-Migrate Portal. Moreover, there is a minimum age criteria of 30 years for female workers holding ECR category passport for overseas employment to protect them against exploitation.

The   Missions/Posts   utilize   the   Indian   Community   Welfare   Fund (ICWF) from time to time to provide financial and legal assistance to Indian nationals in distress abroad including from Bihar on a meanstested   basis.   Major   assistance   under   ICWF   include   boarding   & lodging, cost of repatriation, legal assistance, emergency medical care,   transportation   of   mortal   remains   to   India,   etc.   Since   its inception,   over   3,60,000   distressed   overseas   Indians   have   been assisted through ICWF.
