Abstract: The paper addresses issues related to the promotion and sustenance of international labour migration from India on the one hand and protection of migrant workers on the other. It reveals that labour migration flows from India since 1990s have not only registered impressive growth in respect of the traditional destinations like the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada and the Gulf countries but also have diversified and expanded to newly emerging migrant destinations in continental Europe, Australasia, East Asia and South-East Asia. The paper observes that a pro-active migration policy framework will further cement these trends.
