Certain latest available reports suggest that the president of the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) has strongly urged the mayor of London to have a re-look at the immigration course of action of the UK when the same is presented before it for appraisal during the next year, i.e., 2013. The Indian society has been much perturbed over the recent disclosures made by Great Britain on comparatively more stringent policy involving the movement of the families of the migrants from certain non-EU nations.

The president of the CII claimed that there must not be blanket laws related to immigration even as London must be more accommodative of the nationals from certain nations, such as India, which are making handsome contributions to its (UK’s) economy. He added that tough rules & regulations would negatively impact both the British industry & the students.

The CII president also focused on many regions of active co-operation between the countries of the UK and India. In this connection, he said that the cities of India may draw benefits, and learn comparatively more about the transport expansion & management from London–given the fact that numerous metropolises presently are exploring the possibilities of superior underground systems, improved bus transport, not to mention better running of the airports.

He continued that the Indian public healthcare arrangement may much learn from the National Health Service (NHS) of the UK on how to duly manage healthcare centers across both the urban & the rural regions, even as the Indian educational institutions could draw benefits from a superior and improved comprehension of the nation’s (UK’s) universities–more so in the domains of Research & Development (R&D). Other domains in which India may learn a thing or two from Great Britain are the systems of waste management & green power (energy), besides substitute fuels, the CII president concluded.
