India's National Legal Apex Council – International Federation for Overseas & Migration Diplomatic Cooperation with the UN & Allieds, Intergovernmental and International Organizations

Consolidated Introduction

The Overseas Recruitment and Studies Council (ORASC), a Section 8 public legal entity in India, incorporated under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and registered on the NITI Aayog DARPAN portal, advances India’s role in global migration, education, and international cooperation.

To fulfill its mission, ORASC has launched three major strategic initiatives:

1. Overseas & Migration Cooperation Council

A platform to strengthen bilateral and multilateral partnerships on overseas recruitment, migration development, human resource cooperation, and diaspora engagement. It works with global intergovernmental bodies including the UN, EU, GCC, AU, Arab League, and Commonwealth.

2. Federal Apex Academy

An international center for advanced research and studies in migration, law, diplomacy, security, foreign languages, and human resource development. The Academy fosters academic exchanges, global training, and institutional partnerships with UNESCO, ICCR, and leading universities.

3. Tribunals & Legal Affairs Commissions

Quasi-judicial public interest mechanisms designed to support ethical recruitment, dispute resolution, and economic–trade settlement frameworks. These bodies are aligned with Indian law and global cooperation standards, enabling collaboration with arbitration councils, ICSID, UNCTAD, and other international institutions.

This consolidated note positions ORASC as a federal-style apex council, bridging India with international organizations through migration development, academic cooperation, and quasi-judicial mechanisms.
