The data bank of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) will be expanded by holding the Kerala Migration Survey, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan says.
He was addressing the expatriate delegates at the concluding meeting of the third session of the Loka Kerala Sabha online, here on Saturday. An expatriate data portal would also be prepared for this through which an extensive global registration campaign would be organised, said Mr Vijayan.
Terming expatriate data collection as an urgent issue, the Chief Minister said that the lack of accurate information was also hampering the welfare activities of the expatriates. Saying Loka Kerala Sabha would also become a statutory forum in the near future, the Chief Minister said that there would not be much of a gap between the expat community and Kerala anymore.
