Indicator Summary

The total count of Indian citizens who gained mandatory clearance through the government’s digital platform, namely workers seeking job abroad in countries where Emigration Check Required (ECR) is in effect, is known as the Number of Indians who obtained Emigration Clearance (EC) utilising the e-Migrate system. The number of foreign employers who have formally registered on the e-Migrate system to hire Indian workers in a controlled and open way is shown by the number of employers registered on the system. When taken as a whole, these numbers show how effective India’s digital government is at controlling foreign employment and safeguarding migrant workers.

These metrics are extremely important because they demonstrate how well the e-Migrate system works to prevent exploitation, guarantee ethical hiring procedures, and protect the wellbeing of Indian workers overseas. While more companies registering signifies increased responsibility and formalisation in international labour recruiting, a larger number of Indians obtaining EC through the system shows better compliance, less paperwork, and simpler procedures. These figures assist policymakers in tracking migration patterns, bolstering bilateral labour agreements, and spotting possible hazards associated with working abroad. In the end, it contributes to safe, orderly, and regular migration as envisioned under international frameworks like the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 10.7) by guaranteeing migrants access to grievance redressal processes, legal protection, and transparency.
