Indian Workers Satisfactory for Israeli Firms Amid Bilateral Recruitment Scheme

Amid reports of recruitment issues under a bilateral scheme between India and Israel, the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that most Israeli companies are satisfied with Indian workers. The recruitment process, handled by the National Skill Development Corporation, faced minor issues which have been resolved.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced Thursday that Israeli companies are largely satisfied with the performance of Indian workers employed under a bilateral recruitment scheme.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal addressed media concerns regarding recruitment issues, clarifying that 4,800 Indian workers had been recruited in recent months through a Government-to-Government (G2G) arrangement.

While some initial language and communication issues were reported, these 'teething issues' have been resolved, ensuring smooth operation under the scheme facilitated by both nations' authorities.
