Tatarstan considers India as a source of qualified personnel
There are plans to create a Russian language learning center in India. This was announced at the business forum "TIME: Russia - India. Mutual Efficiency," said Dana Kishore, Chief Secretary of the Indian Administrative Service of the Department of Labor, Employment, Vocational Training and Factories, Deputy Chairman of the Telangana State Overseas Employment Company.
"We have come to an agreement with one of the companies – we must create a Russian language learning center. Our representatives can come there and choose the field where they plan to work. We don't know from the queries that we will face over time. Maybe we will develop in different directions. We need to have cooperation between the countries," Dana Kishore said.
He noted that the economic ties between Tatarstan and India are greatly expanding, which serves as a springboard for attracting specialists who will work in Russia. India can offer competent engineers, as well as specialists in the fields of construction, mechanics, computer operations, medicine, IT and the petrochemical complex.
"We train more than 100,000 engineers every year. We also have industrial institutes. We currently have between 1.5 million and 3 million engineers on the market who are ready to travel to Russia. The trade turnover between India and Tatarstan is growing, and as a result, there is a high demand for personnel," Dana Kishore said.
Tatarstan considers India as a country with great labor potential, where the working-age population exceeds 550 million people, said Deputy Minister of Labor, Employment and Social Protection of the Republic of Tatarstan Klara Tazetdinova.
"It is also attractive to us from the point of view that there is a lot of skilled labor, the workers are highly adaptable, and they have a good knowledge of English. There is a well-developed IT industry, medicine and agriculture," said Klara Tazetdinova.
The republic provides for the training of visiting specialists in the Russian language, this is done at Kazan Federal University, said Galina Mashtakova, member of the Council on Personnel Policy at the RAIS of the Republic of Tatarstan, General Director of GMC Consulting LLC. Each employer draws up its own staff adaptation program – both to the working moments and culture of the organization, as well as the culture of Tatarstan.
"On the Indian side, recruitment is already quite well developed, which cannot be said about neighboring countries – they had to be specially trained in this. In India, they themselves monitor the quality of conditions provided by employers, what kind of adaptation program, living conditions, and so on. Our recruitment agencies are also involved in this. It is becoming easier for employers to bring not only workers, but also highly qualified specialists," Galina Mashtakova said.
