India, May 7 -- India is looking to amend the Emigration Act of 1983 as part of efforts to meet the demands of the global workplace and to promote the legal movement of people while discouraging non-legal migration, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday. The Emigration Act of 1983 was "designed to address the demands of a particular geography in a certain era" but the "times have changed and our vistas have expanded", he said. The government has launched a range of skill training, vocational education to make Indian workers more productive in the contemporary era, he said. P13
