During the first week of December, President Vladimir Putin will be in New Delhi when India and Russia are going to sign a landmark bilateral mobility agreement.
This pact is intended to create a planned structure for regulation of migration, workers protection, and the assignment of Indian professionals with a skill in the sectors that would be most beneficial for the Russian economy.
As a result of Russia in desperate need of qualified labour due to its industrial growth, the pact will make it possible for thousands of Indian workers to access industries such as construction, textiles, engineering and electronics.
According to the reports, the number of Indian nationals officially employed in Russia could go beyond 70,000 by the end of this year under the quotas that will be overseen by the Ministry of Labour.
The Indian Business Alliance (IBA), based in Moscow, has supported the move and termed it as a turning point to the deepening of bilateral relations. "Such an agreement lays ground for a win-win situation-Russia's expanding industrial needs are met and at the same time Indian professionals are provided with secure and dignified employment," remarked IBA President Sammy Manoj Kotwani.

Moreover, to ensure that the workers are well looked after, IBA is ready to work with both governments in facilitating awareness before departure and language training programmes, encourage good recruitment practices and prohibit any immigration violations.
Collaborating with the Indian Embassy in Moscow and local authorities in Russia will be the additional steps towards ensuring harmonization as well as protection of the Indian community in Russia.
