India to sign an agreement with Denmark on job opportunities
Bangalore: India is signing an agreement with Denmark on social security and labour, which will help in opening employment opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled youths, said Vayalar Ravi, Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs. Inaugurating a 'skill upgradation and pre-departure Orientation Programme for potential emigrants from Kerala', Ravi said, "Negotiations with Denmark have been completed and once the agreement is signed, it will help young Indians aspiring for jobs." Ravi regretted that when the government took several measures for the benefit of people going abroad, there were complaints of misuse of "visit visas". Government had initiated steps to prevent women being taken overseas for domestic work using visit visas. "The Centre along with the state governments would take stringent action against those misusing visit visas," the Minister warned. Ravi also urged job seekers to be careful not to get attracted by fake advertisements. Job aspirants should get in touch with 'helpline' at his ministry or NORKA office in Kerala to know the genuineness of such advertisements.
