Launch of the Mayak project: help, support, and unification
The ANO "Near Club — Compatriots of India in Russia" is pleased to announce the long-awaited launch of the "Mayak" project, developed by a team of Indian IT specialists to provide comprehensive support to Indian compatriots living in Russia.
The "Mayak" project is an online service (website) designed to provide assistance, support, consultations, information sharing, and community-building for Indian nationals residing in Russia for various purposes (study, work, family, etc.).
The primary goal of the project is to allow Indian citizens living in Russia the opportunity to seek advice and receive assistance from Russian and Indian specialized organizations on legal, social, humanitarian, psychological, economic and other pressing issues by contacting one of the support offices (call centers) that assist foreign nationals in Russia, as well as Indian organizations that provide support to members of the national diaspora abroad.
Another distinctive feature of Mayak is the ability not only to send written messages in English or Russian, but also (particularly if you don't know these languages) to record an audio message in one of the widely spoken languages of India. In addition, the project's flexible format allows for relatively quick support for Indians, thanks to the presence of support centre staff in various regions of the Russian Federation (allowing assistance in real time across multiple time zones). Furthermore, Mayak platform users will be able to attach documents and other materials to their requests to facilitate the review process. The service also includes the ability to organize audio or video calls.
In addition to Mayak’s core mission, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to a newsletter, monitor current news related to the Indian diaspora in Russia, as well as digests of relevant publications in Russian and Indian media, including informational materials on career, educational, and other opportunities available to Indians in Russia.
