MUMBAI -- The first group of Indian nursing care workers trained by a unit of Japanese insurer Sompo Holdings will head to Japan in July, providing relief to an industry hammered by a worsening labor crunch.

Sompo Care opened a training center near New Delhi last August in cooperation with India's National Skill Development Corp. Nursing care equipment was brought in from Japan for the nine-month training program, which also includes Japanese language lessons.
