Andhra Pradesh government has introduced a major overseas employment programme, with driver jobs in Dubai at a monthly salary of ₹1 lakh. The plan is to prepare skilled workers from the state for lucrative job opportunities abroad, and also to provide them with structured support.
The package includes not only the high salary but also free visa and accommodation to selected candidates, the officials say. It will certainly attract job seekers in particular driving and wanting to work overseas.
Andhra Pradesh’s IPO‑style recruitment drive is part of its broader plan to expand employment opportunities for its citizens beyond home markets. By putting people in Dubai, the government is tapping into the demand for professional drivers in the Gulf region, where infrastructure development and urbanisation continue to create steady jobs.
The offer size could accommodate a large number of candidates, and the government would have to be transparent and fair with regard to the selection process, according to sources. It is also in line with India’s overall push to enhance overseas employment channels, which are also central to remittances and economic growth.
For the candidates, there are benefits beyond financial gain. Free accommodation and visa help make it easier for relocation, and visa assistance available plus government involvement in both are a result of that in terms of safety and legitimacy. And that is especially important for migrants who often face challenges in finding jobs as they are often jobless in foreign markets.
Industry experts think the program could serve as a model for other states that marry high‑paying opportunities with welfare safeguards. Dubai is known as a hub for expatriate workers, and Andhra Pradesh’s initiative is expected to enhance the state’s profile in international labor markets.
To sum up, the Andhra Pradesh government’s offer of Dubai driver jobs at ₹1 lakh per month and free visa and accommodation is a first step towards skills for the skilled workers. It’s a proactive move at creating jobs and international cooperation that will surely offer financial stability and the chance to be as well as global.
