United Nations, India's approach to migration remains people-centric and grounded in dignity, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said, underlining that mobility will remain an integral feature of a dynamic global economy.
India's approach to migration governance is holistic and pragmatic, driven by coordinated institutional efforts and broad societal engagement, Singh said.
He emphasized that 'welfare and protection of our people' remains central to India's approach, with strengthened mechanisms to support migrants, particularly those in vulnerable situations, through initiatives such as the Indian Community Welfare Fund and the MADAD portal.
India has also concluded 27 migration and mobility arrangements with 23 countries, facilitating structured and skills-based mobility, with a strong emphasis on worker welfare, social protection, and fair recruitment practices.
Singh stressed that India recognises that mobility will remain an integral feature of an increasingly interconnected and dynamic global economy, with the objective that migration should be a choice, supported by opportunity and dignity.
