A minimum of two-year work authorization has been demanded by the overseas Indian students A minimum of two-year work authorization has been demanded by the overseas Indian students who are pursuing diverse courses globally. They have demanded that the Government of India involves itself in the process of securing this minimum work permit from the nations where they are studying overseas. Vani S Rao, the Union External Affairs Ministry’s Joint Secretary has said that the Government of India has been receiving grievances from several students across the globe regarding their inability to obtain a work experience after completion of their studies. Mrs. Rao was speaking at the plenary session of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas. The Joint Secretary also informed that the issues that are being confronted by the Indian students in the UK had been apprised to the Prime Minister of the UK during her recent visit to India. The issue was still under processing and a conclusion was yet to be reached, said Rao. The officials who were a part of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas have said that the UK is yet to give an encouraging response.
