class="container"><h2>India Centre for Migration (ICM)</h2><h3>About ICM</h3><p>The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) set up the India Centre for Migration (ICM) formerly known as Indian Council for Overseas Employment, as a ‘not for profit’ society under the Societies Registration Act 1860, in July 2008. The India Centre of Migration (ICM) serves as a research think-tank to Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on all matters relating to international migration and mobility. The Centre undertakes empirical, analytical and policy related research, and undertakes pilot projects to document good practices. Over the years, ICM has expanded its scope of work, by following a multi-pronged approach by actively organizing workshops, research studies and seminars in collaboration with academic institutions, state governments and international bodies.</p><p>ICM conducts research studies which entails monitoring and analysis of the trends and dynamics of international labour market. It has also been contributing towards programs for skill development and skill upgradation to facilitate employment opportunities overseas.</p><p>The centre is the implementing partner representing MEA in the ongoing technical support project under the aegis of Joint Declaration on India-EU Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility (CAMM).</p><p>ICM has broadened its scope by playing a pivotal role in conducting Training of Trainers (ToT) workshops and certifying Master Trainers. The trainers impart Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) Training to migrant workers in order to ensure that workers migrate safely for overseas employment with an enhanced skill-set. In this regard the PDO resource material in the form of comprehensive manuals and handbooks in seven languages has been developed. ICM has also developed a PDO manual on Specified Skilled Workers (SSW) Scheme of Government of Japan.</p><p>Apart from that, from the year 2020 onwards, ICM has commenced a host of research activities such as panel discussions, consultation workshops, conferences and empirical studies. These research endeavors are aimed at generating new ideas and research studies that cater to the underlying issues and areas concerning migration.</p><p>ICM envisions to lead research and analysis on international migration to support informed policy making and enable strategic interventions for a coherent and harmonised response to the transnational movement of people from India.</p><h3>Governing Council (2021-2023) </h3><p>Ex-Officio Members</p><h4>Secretary, MEA - Chairman</h4><ul class="bulletText"><li>Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs or his/her representative </li><li>Secretary, Ministry of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises or his/her representative</li><li>Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment or his/her representative </li></ul><h4>State Governments – Bihar, West Bengal and Tamilnadu<br /><span style="font-weight:bold">Nominated Experts</span></h4><ul class="bulletText"><li>Shri.

With the onset of COVID-19, ICM has also started the practice of organising monthly virtual discussion on relevant themes concerning migration. These research activities have initiated, contributed and supported towards a detailed analysis of myriad aspects of international migration such as labour supply gaps, trends and dynamics of international labour market, skilling initiatives, sectoral analysis, international good practices concerning safety and welfare of emigrant workers, diaspora, remittances and development. ICM has also collaborated with universities and research institutes in India with the aim of advancing knowledge on international migration.</li><li><span style="font-weight:bold">Report on the Impact of COVID-19 on International Migration from India</span><br />ICM prepared an in-house report looking at the impact of COVID-19 on India’s international migration in all its dimensions.
