During the consultation, Shri Amararam Ji highlighted the vital role of the Embassy, Consulate, and community organisations in supporting the Indian diaspora, particularly in worker welfare, insurance, and stronger community–government coordination.
Ashish Garg, General Secretary of the Rajasthan Foundation Dubai Chapter, emphasised the significant contribution of Rajasthani workers to the UAE’s growth and the importance of expanding opportunities through skill development, professional certification, and improved career prospects.
Komal Jajoo, Chairperson of the Chapter’s Women’s Wing, proposed a structured awareness and orientation programme to educate blue-collar and women workers about employment rights, salary entitlements, insurance coverage, contractual obligations, and available support mechanisms.
The consultation reinforced the importance of moving beyond worker welfare towards empowerment, skill development, and greater dignity for Indian workers in the UAE.
