D. In January, 2019 report submitted by the Committee on External Affairs constituted by the Ministry of External Affairs to the Parliament on the 'Issues relating to migrant workers including appropriate legislative framework and skill development initiatives for prospective emigrants', the Committee has that the law provide legal aid to Indian emigrants. Relevant portion of the recommendation reads thus:

"The law should establish a separate department with powers of enforcement under the Protector of Emigrants to investigate complaints of exploitation and other abuses by recruiters. This department must provide legal aid, translation services, and other forms of assistance to workers, while initiating legal proceedings against recruitments engaging in illegal activities."
