Under the migration agreement cited by Goyal, how many Indians a year does Germany require?
- A.30,000
- B.50,000
- C.90,000
- D.1,20,000
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 90,000. Recalling a conversation with the German Foreign Minister about the migration agreement between India and Germany, Piyush Goyal said the arrangement carries a requirement of 90,000 Indians a year, and that he was told Germany in fact needed substantially more Indian talent than that. He used the example to argue that Indian skills are winning wider international recognition, pointing as well to Indians holding senior positions in Fortune 500 companies and working on advanced technologies. The other options are of a believable order but none is the number he mentioned. The Minister also said German research institutions, some of them employing between twelve and thirty thousand people, were working closely with private firms and had expressed interest in collaborating with India, which he attributed to trust between the two countries and to confidence in India's talent, fair play and equal opportunity.
