| סיכום: | The paper examines the dimensions of vulnerability of migrant labourers in
Kerala state. The state has been witnessing large inflow of migrant labourers not only
from the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka but also from states in
East India (West Bengal and Orissa), North India (Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,
Uttarakhand) and North-east (Assam, Manipur). The paper examines how the state
and other agencies in Kerala responded to reduce the vulnerability of inter-state
migrant workers. The paper also makes an assessment of a pioneering welfare
scheme for inter-state migrant workers introduced by the Kerala government. The
Central Government also should consider 'migration' as criteria for allocation of
resources to different states. The paper also observes that a strategy to reach out to
migrant workers coming from diverse backgrounds and speaking different languages
has to be introduced as the present strategy, whether it is by the law enforcement
agencies or the public service providers, fails to reach a significant segment of
migrant population. |
