Tracking migrant workers in Madhya Pradesh
The MP Migrant Workers Project was established to address the lack of reliable information about workers returning to Madhya Pradesh during the COVID-19 lockdown. Coordinators and volunteers worked with Zenith to document employment, income, government assistance and future plans.
The project found extensive unemployment and reduced earnings among returned workers. It aimed to make their circumstances visible to public authorities and provide an evidence base for relief, employment and social-security measures.
