Commerce & Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman met senior officials from across Ministries and representatives from Nasscom to strategise on how to deal with the proposed tightening of H-1B visa regime by the Donald Trump government in the US.
“We discussed ways to put it across strongly to US government officials and legislators the contributions Indian industry has been making in the country. The Indian industry will also work with the US industry to lobby with all concerned including members of the US Senate to ensure that the controversial bills proposing curbs on H-1B visas don’t get approved,” a government official told BusinessLine . The meeting was attended by Secretaries from the Department of Economic Affairs, Telecom, Industry, Commerce, Electronics & IT and the Niti Aayog CEO.
