Dingucha (Gandhinagar): NRI status is a sign of success in Dingucha – the last village in Gandhinagar district on the way to Mehsana.
It is very clear when you step into settlements: poster advertisements ‘Student visas to Canada and US’ are seen wherever you turn around in the village, who recently gathered infamy after four of the population freezes when smuggled from Canada into us.
Of the 7,000 strong inhabitants, almost half settled in countries such as the US, Britain or Canada.
According to Panchayat Village Records, 3,200 residents live abroad.
Local residents recognize this village has two choices for young people: both get US citizenship or become agents, get expertise on international travel and turn into income tools in Dingucha and other closest villages.
Kanu Patel, a farmer from the village, said that his parents, older brothers, sister-in-law together with two children they settled in the US Pennsylvania state about 6 years ago.
“We have a population of around 7,000 and half of the good people in the US, Canada or England.
There are international travel agents in each village line.
They have relationships with larger agents in Delhi, Mumbai and people in countries like US and Canada.
“Looking for anonymity, a resident, who works as an agent in Kalol, said his family visited the US about 10 years ago.
“I understand the whole system and start helping others to settle in the US.
I then started working as an agent.
I will continue to work until I get enough money to settle abroad,” he said.
Talati Jayesh Chaudhary village said that when boys or girls passed elementary school, he began preparation to fly to the US or Canada.
“Because of this despair, half of the population both in the US or Canada or even in Australia.
Nris sometimes flew back here during the winter.
They contributed to the development of the village,” Chaudhary said.
Patel added, “The village seems to be deserted by most of the time.
However, he has the appearance of the advanced city with Jalan Pucca, two major schools, hospitals, community rooms and banks.
This is possible because those who go to foreign beaches constantly contribute to development Village.
“Because it was questioned about illegal immigration facilitated by agents, Talati said he did not realize such practice in the village.
