Is e-Shram Centring Migrants?
The 2020 migrant crisis was one of the worst catastrophes in modern Indian history. The sudden imposition of the lockdown in March 2020 severely impacted employment and, consequently, the earnings and savings of migrant workers. With no proper employment opportunities in their home villages, the household income of return migrants fell by 85 per cent during June-August 2020. Migrants in the destination states began to return and walk back to their home states, causing a large wave of distressed return migration across the country. With widespread return migration and a lack of data on interstate migrants, the government faced challenges in providing COVID-19 relief and social security benefits to vulnerable groups.
