Meet the young Indians applying for jobs in Israel

Thousands of men in India are applying for construction jobs in Israel under a mass recruitment drive organised in a few north Indian states.

In January, the BBC's Archana Shukla visited a government recruitment centre in the northern city of Lucknow and spoke to these men.

They told her that they were desperate and were willing to risk their lives for work and a steady pay.

Many of them have higher educational qualifications, but said that has done little to improve their chances in the job market.
