In the last week of November 2020, the secretary of the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment inaugurated an online platform named Bideshjatra that would provide necessary information related to aspirant-migrants, safe migration, rehabilitation of returning migrants and remittance management, etc. As mentioned, this platform would assist the aspirant-migrants to take a right decision. The platform was developed by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) with funding from the European Union. While inaugurating the platform, the expatriates’ welfare secretary also indicated the government’s plan of sending one thousand workers abroad every year from each upazila of Bangladesh.
