He also revealed that the state government is considering the establishment of the 'Telangana Gulf and Other Overseas Board' within the premises of Mahatma Jyothiba Phule Praja Bhavan. The board will cater to the welfare needs of overseas migrant laborers.
Reddy highlighted that V Sheshadri, the chief minister’s secretary, brings six years of experience in managing foreign affairs during the tenures of both Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi. Under Sheshadri's guidance, a policy document has been prepared by studying the policies implemented for NRIs by states like Kerala and countries like the Philippines.
The CM mentioned that the Philippines has been successfully implementing a robust policy that involves registering employment, employees, and all other pertinent details, along with engaging in state-to-state dealings with Gulf countries. Inspired by this, he announced plans to implement a similar policy by Sep. 17.
This policy aims to maintain comprehensive records of migrant workers, provide them with assistance and training, issue licenses to agents, offer life insurance, and safeguard their assets. Additionally, he disclosed that a senior IAS officer would be appointed to lead the overseas board, ensuring effective management of issues at all levels.
