Mangalore, Jul 26: Minister of state for Labour and Employment Oscar Fernandes, at a meeting with the district deputy commissioner, other officials and representatives of non-governmental organizations held in the city on Friday July 25 said, that the union government is actively considering a proposal of the district for the establishment of an Overseas Workers Training Resource Centre here, to cater to the technical needs of the people going abroad for employment.

Oscar said, he would discuss the issue with the union minister for overseas affairs Vayalar Ravi and expressed the confidence of convincing him to do the needful, as a city like Mangalore which is fast developing with lot of people having connections with foreign countries, is a right place for housing the said centre.

People going abroad for jobs without proper technical knowledge, get trapped in various problems. Some kind of training can greatly enhance their prospects. Such a centre can also act as a counselling forum for the people employed abroad who are facing problems because of deficient technical knowledge, the minister felt.

The officials informed that the city is eligible to get a full-fledged passport office and a proposal is already with the ministry of external affairs for the same. He promised to follow up the issue with the ministry.

When the minister invited suggestions for improving the skill development mission of the union government, ITI principal Giridhar Salian said there is scope for improving soft skills of ITI students. The minister thought it advisable to conduct a survey of the category-wise employment opportunities before taking up the job of training people in respective faculties.

Roshni Nilaya principal Prof Jacinta D'Souza suggested for including rural students in the mission. Vice-principal of the college Prof Rita Noronha noted that development of soft skills is a part of the training proposed to be imparted at the proposed resource centres.

Deputy commissioner M Mahshwar Rao, SP N Sateesh Kumar, ZP chief executive officer A M Kunjappa and other officials and NGOs participated in the meeting.

    Indeed a marvellous idea to enforce suitable training programs for Indians desiring to go abroad for employment, regardless of their professional backgrounds. It is high time that we all get certified to the International standards in order to fulfill our globalization concept. In additional to the educational background duly supported by work experience, each and every Indian need and deserve suitable Orientation for overseas work responsibilities.

    There are so many social, cultural and work related awareness required for each and every individual so that he or she can adjust themselves appropriately and satisfactorily in overseas assignments and prove themselves fully adaptable to the overseas standards and requirements. Our quality performance abroad will undoubtedly bring us suitable monitary rewards and recognitions. We started our International Orientation programs in India few years ago thru the establishment of Toastmasters International organization.

    We are so honoured to know that today there are 115 Toastmasters Clubs throughout India and Sri Lanka with more than 4000 Toastmasters who are actively exercising their quality of leadership and communication skills to the highest International calibre. India and Sri Lank under District 82 have now ranked World's Number One this year out of total 86 Districts in Toastmasters International. We shall all be proudly moving to the International stage at the International Convention to be held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to receive our prestigious Award as Number One Rank on August 15, 2008, on India's 62nd Independance Day.

    We are also planning to celebrate this grand honour in Mangalore at "Kala Angan" on September 20, 2008 in the presence of the Mayor, Deputy Commissioner and Most.Rev. Bishop of Mangalore too. International adaptation to all the required standards and specification is the key for India's future success. Sixty percent of our population in India are young and brilliant and they need our support and guidance so that they march ahead with a sense of pride so as to gain all the required recognition in this 21st century.
