DESK RESEARCH Understanding Remittances: Indian Scenario India has the second largest Diaspora in the world, with around 25 million people living in more than 100 countries. Overseas Indians are socially and economically diverse group of people, however it has been seen that the bulk of migration is low skilled in nature. More recently, high- skilled migration has picked up and has become increasingly considerable especially in the specific corridors. Major destinations for Indian migrants include Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States; Saudi Arabia and Germany among others. Non-resident Indians as a community have a tendency to save, because of which they will always send across money to their families through remittances.
