Nursing recruitment process outside india

Nursing recruitment via ODEPC or NORKA roots

Dated: 20 APRIL 2015;

From April 30,2015 Overseas Development and Employment Promotion Council (Odepc) and Non Resident Keralites' Affairs (Norka) have been in charge of recruiting nurses from Kerala to 18 ECR countries.

The central government has issued an order banning overseas recruitment of nurses by private agencies. 

The government order, which will come into effect on April 30,2015 has stated that only an authorized government agency can conduct nursing recruitments. 

Overseas Indian affairs (MOIA) ministry amended immigration rules that permitted recruiting agencies to charge Rs 20,000 as recruitment fee

According to the GO issued on Wednesday, nursing recruitment to a foreign country from India can be done only through a government agency from respective states. 

NORKA Roots and the Overseas Development and Employment Promotion Council (ODEPC) will be entrusted with the job in Kerala. Currently, recruitments to Saudi Arabia are done through the ODEPC. 

Countries to which Odepc and Norka will recruit nursing professionals:

UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Malaysia, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Syria, Lebanon, Thailand and Iraq.

The decision by the central government is expected to put an end to large-scale corruption and cheating by private agencies who recruit nurses from India to various foreign countries, including all the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, after taking huge sums as bribes and commission.
