Why do the Indian embassy/consulate employees are not well equipped or ready for challenges?

Answer 1

Just like everything else in India, they are overloaded. Look at the number of people they are serving, compared to embassies/consulates of other countries. For example, Atlanta is just one city that India's Houston consulate serves; and see how many Indians are there in Atlanta and how fast that number is growing. We have it in our blood to overdo anything and everything. With our enormous capacity to increase population in every part of the world, what else do you expect ?

Answer 2

you cannot generalize that all employees of indian consulate are not well equipped but some soncul officers are not very helpful

Answer 3

I have had the same experience with them here in Sydney. I cant believe they will not even response at all your emails and phone messages. I guess they carry the same attitude as they do back home where the sheer amount of queries does not allow them to attend to them properly.

Lack of training and funds does not help them either and lack of guidance from the superiors make matters worse. Wonder they are aware their service is seriously lacking professionalism?

Answer 4

like our politicians. all they are with great support of the ministers level, or IAS or IPS support. mostly they are lazy people who are working in consulate. Arrogant people. actually they are REAL STUPID. they don know the meaning of RESPECT.they wont change until their death

Answer 5

Most of them are kith and kin of ministers and they know their influence .even if they cannot function properly they will not be removed because of their clout.

Answer 6

Because they are poorly paid, poorly trained, and poorly equipped. they are doing the best they can.
