EAM Jaishankar Launches e-Migrate Portal to Ensure Safe Overseas Travel
External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar inaugurated the revamped eMigrate V2.0 web portal and mobile app in Delhi, aiming to enhance safe and legal migration for Indian citizens. This initiative underscores the Indian government’s commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of workers abroad while facilitating their mobility and welfare. It aligns with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and reflects India’s proactive approach to global migration dynamics.
Dr. Jaishankar emphasized that the eMigrate portal symbolizes the government’s dedication to creating a safe, transparent, and inclusive environment for Indian migrants. He highlighted that since 2015, India has accelerated negotiations with various countries on migration and mobility, recognizing the growing global demand for skilled workers.
The upgraded portal incorporates significant technological advancements, including integration with DigiLocker for secure document storage and a 24/7 multilingual helpline for addressing urgent migrant issues. This development is part of the government’s broader effort to improve the ease of living for citizens traveling abroad and to ensure their well-being, especially in challenging circumstances.
Jaishankar noted that the launch of the eMigrate portal reflects a continuous endeavor to enhance people-centric governance, echoing previous initiatives like the MEA’s awareness campaign for safe migration, which included the release of a commemorative postal stamp. He affirmed the government’s resolve to provide a robust social security framework for migrants, signifying a commitment to their safety and rights as they navigate foreign lands.
