I'd applied for a passport when I was in school, and didn't have an ECNR stamp, 
since I wasn't a degree holder at the time. I'd traveled on my passport before, 
so I got a rude shock when I wasn't allowed to go to the Philippines in 2004.  
Is the ECNR regime still on? And does it apply even for 3 year old kids 
traveling with ECNR certified parents?

And ec(n)r prevented school-drop-out artists from travelling, since if you 
hadn't finished hi school, assumption was that sarkar maibaap would be needed 
to look after you and decide if you were eligible to travel abroad.

The EC(N)R stamp meant something at the point of origin, not at the
destination. I suspect a vast majority of the countries did not know what
this "chaapa" on the passport meant.
