During the United Nations General Assembly, Union Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh outlined India's objectives for a comprehensive migration framework that prioritizes inclusivity and addresses challenges like irregular migration and trafficking. He emphasized that migration is fundamentally about people and their aspirations. Singh noted India's extensive diaspora of over 34 million and its position as the leading recipient of global remittances, having received $137.67 billion in 2024. To promote ethical migration, India has established bilateral agreements with 23 countries and enhanced consular protections through the 'MADAD' grievance redressal portal and Migrant Resource Centres. Additionally, the Indian Community Welfare Fund has been providing critical support and services to Indian nationals abroad since 2009. Singh also mentioned ongoing skilling initiatives and pre-departure orientation programs designed to empower migrants with essential knowledge about their rights and host country cultures.
