Emigration clearances for Indian workers tripled in three years

The Ministry of Skill Development on Monday informed Parliament that in the last three years, emigration clearances granted to semi-skilled and unskilled workers in India who wish to go abroad and work have tripled.

While replying to the question of a Lok Sabha MP, the data provided by Union Minister Jayant Chaudhary highlighted that in 2021, 1,32,675 people were granted emigration clearances to go abroad and work, while in 2022, the number increased to 3,73,425 and in 2023, 3,98,317 people were given emigration clearances.
