NSDC Adviser unveils global pathway for healthcare graduates at Aryans College

Chandigarh, May 6: Dr. Sandeep Kaura, Adviser to the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Chancellor of Lamrin Tech Skills University, today outlined legitimate pathways to international employment for healthcare students, highlighting a major initiative to place 100,000 qualified Indian nursing professionals abroad by 2025.

Speaking to nursing, pharmacy, and allied healthcare students at Aryans Group of Colleges near Chandigarh, Dr. Kaura emphasized that the NSDC program offers a structured alternative to risky illegal migration attempts that have proven costly and dangerous for many Punjabi youth.

“Leading healthcare systems in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia have specifically approached India requesting trained professionals,” Dr. Kaura revealed. “We’re creating country-specific skill training modules that align perfectly with international requirements, opening doors that were previously accessible only through irregular channels.”

The programme targets graduates in nursing and specialised healthcare fields including cardiac care, anesthesia, and operation theatre technology—all programs offered at Aryans College.

Dr. Anshu Kataria, Chairman of Aryans Group of Colleges, who presided over the session, noted that Punjab represents a significant source region for healthcare professionals seeking international opportunities.

“Our institution supports 2,000 healthcare students who will benefit directly from these emerging placement channels,” Dr. Kataria said. “This partnership with NSDC creates legitimate pathways to global careers while addressing critical healthcare workforce shortages worldwide.”

The initiative comes as developed nations face unprecedented healthcare staffing challenges, making skilled Indian professionals increasingly sought after in international markets.
