New Delhi: Every country in the world is aware of the friendship between India and Russia. For the last 3 years, India has also been playing an important role in the management of the Russian economy.
When the whole world was reluctant to buy crude oil from Russia, India helped Russia and bought crude oil from there.
It has shown its friendship by ignoring Russia in the UN Security Council. Now India is going to give Russia something that is also very valuable for India. Everyone from America to China is surprised by this agreement between India and Russia. Let us tell you what exactly India plans to give Russia.
India to send 1 million workers to Russia
Russia will provide employment opportunities for about 1 million skilled workers from India by the end of this year to meet the labor shortage in its industrial sector. Andrei Besedin, head of the Russian industrial organization Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry, informed about the plan to import skilled workers from India in an interview with the news agency Rosbusinessconsulting (RBC). Besedin said, “As far as I know, by the end of the year, 1 million Indian specialists will come to Russia. This includes the Sverdlovsk region of Russia. A new consulate general is being opened in Yekaterinburg to look into these issues.” Besedin said that the arrival of Indian professionals will fill the shortage of highly qualified workers in the Sverdlovsk region.
Why does Russia need workers?
Sverdlovsk Oblast, located in the Ural Mountains, is a center of heavy industry and the military-industrial complex. It includes the world-famous Uralmash and the T-90 series tank manufacturer Ural Wagon Zavod. Besedin said that industrial enterprises located in the region need to increase production volumes, but there is a shortage of sufficiently skilled workers. He cited the deployment of some workers to the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine and the tendency of Russian youth to avoid going to factories as the main reasons behind this. He said that Russia is also considering calling in workers from Sri Lanka and North Korea, but this is a complex issue.
The series began in 2024
The process of workers arriving from India at the initiative of the Russian region began in 2024. These workers were invited by the Kaliningrad fish processing complex Za Rodinu. According to the RBC news agency, the Russian Ministry of Labor estimates a shortage of 3.1 million workers by 2030. It proposes to increase the quota for inviting qualified foreign workers by 1.5 times to 2.3 million in 2025.
The Russian Ministry of Labor estimates that in 2024, Russian industrial enterprises will attract 47,000 qualified migrants from outside the Commonwealth of Independent States. The Ministry of Economic Development also said that it would expand the scope of attracting workers from other countries. However, after the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall in Moscow on March 22 last year, Russian authorities tightened immigration laws to prevent the influx of migrants from the former Soviet republics.
