Precisely. I seem to recall that when the US first announced India would join GE back in an Obama/Singh joint declaration in October 2013, that there was talk of the US assisting India in setting up such a system. Unfortunately I couldn't find that exact wording now, so perhaps it was just in my imagination that India had agreed to set up its own system. India's participation in the GE program is still hampered by India's insistence on doing another check before someone is approved on India's side for GE (500 rupees for a 13 agency check that can take months if not years--far more stringent than the simple police verification needed to emigrate to the US).
