Cloud over work in Korea - Naga NGOs sceptical over payments to 100 Naga youths
The Telegraph | Kohima, July 14:
Naga organisations have become sceptical about the payments to be made to 100 Naga youths for their work in Korean companies abroad while the Centre has delayed their passports. The Naga organisations feel that $400 a month for a person to work in Korea is too meagre. However, the state government said the youths were to be sent to work in Korean companies abroad as a state-sponsored project for two years where all their expenses would be borne by the government.
“In return, the company will receive a certain sum of money for the placement services rendered along with the expenses for the exercise according to the conditions agreed upon in the agreement for a period of two years,” the additional director of employment and craftsman training, Y. Vandanshan Lotha, said.
However, in a statement from South Korea, Naga Christian Fellowship, Korea, said the state government had decided to send Naga youths to Korea to work in a veterinary company without knowing the reality. “It is total insanity. It is daylight robbery and the Nagaland government is endorsing it in the name of employment. If the Naga youths are to earn Rs 17,848, it is better for the Nagaland government to distribute the amount they are investing in this project equally among the youths and save them two years of slavery and pain,” the Naga Christian Fellowship, Korea, said in a statement. It said 400 dollars per month in Korea was too small an amount.
