India has initiated talks with the governments of Australia, Netherlands, France, and the European Union on several human resource mobility partnership agreements that will ensure job employments for its working professionals.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohn Singh, during the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas on Sunday, said the country's labor partnership agreements with the above mentioned countries is being expanded to include not only skilled workers but academics and professionals as well.

India since last year had been working to create employment access for its professionals and workers in various developed economies like the EU and the US. In 2011, India sought the assistance of the US to facilitate the faster employment movement of Indian professionals in the world's largest economy after the workers, especially those related to the Indian IT industry, faced struggles in obtaining H1B and L1 visas in the US.

India has likewise entered into a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with Japan, enabling greater employment opportunities to market researchers and management consulting firms, Indian accountants, research and development service providers as well as tourist guides into the Japanese market. Indian nurses and caregivers are likewise allowed employment access in Japan.

With the development, PM Singh vowed to ensure safety of Indian nationals working abroad. In the same conference, the Indian leader announced the creation of a pension and life insurance scheme for overseas Indian workers. Over 5 million workers are expected to benefit from the program, as well as assist them save for their return, resettlement and old age in their country of birth.

"The scheme will encourage, enable and assist overseas workers to voluntarily save for their return and resettlement and old age," the Times of India quoted the Indian PM as saying.

"There are over six million Indians living in the Gulf and West Asia. We need to be alert to the unfolding developments in this part of the world. We have conveyed to the countries of the region that we have a stake in the peace and stability of this region, and that we expect that they would appropriately look after the interests of Indian communities in their countries," PM Singh added.

Meanwhile, PM Singh said steps to deepen ties with non-resident Indians as well as persons of Indian origin were also being facilitated by the government. The Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs had started executing its e-migrate project meant to provide end-to-end computerized solutions for all processes in the emigration system, he said.

The system aims to connect all Indian nationals onto a single, common platform. It will be used and accessed by workers, recruitment agencies, employers, offices of the protector of emigrants, immigration officials, and the Indian missions overseas.
