Just like its neighbouring state of Kerala, many local youths from Lakshadweep too are employed in the countries in Middle East. These youngsters send money to their families easily through the Western Union Money Transfers units. These units have set up tie-ups with banks all over India so that these banks have separate counters for them. Since there is only one bank in Lakshadweep, UCO bank, these units have set up an exclusive counter here, so that the families can easily collect the money that is being sent to them by their near and dear ones. Through these Western Union Money Transfers agencies, sending and receiving money has become a very easy task.
