Ranchi | Updated: December 17, 2021 11:56 IST Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren during the launch of SRMI. (Twitter/Jharkhand CMO) The Jharkhand government launched the Safe and Responsible Migration Initiative (SRMI) on Thursday to enable systemic registration of migrant workers for monitoring and analysis in the source as well as the destination districts. To begin with, the government will have two help desks—which will be known as ‘labour consulates’—in Ladakh Union Territory as well as in Kerala.
During the launch of the initiative, Jharkhand’s Chief Secretary, Sukhdeo Singh, said: “Human migration is a very complex topic. Our government is not against migrations. We also encourage it, if it is happening for good. But we saw a different side of this migration during the pandemic. SRMI aims to fill this gap.” The launch was followed by two panel discussions which focussed on tracking women labourers who remain the most vulnerable, putting an end to the exploitative means, predicting distress migration and increased social security and welfare coverage for migrant workers. 68 murdered in Maliana, all accused acquitted 36 years later, residents ask: So who killed our families?
Extrapolating this situation to the workers who face similar problems in other parts of the world, Chief Minister Hemant Soren said: “How do we work for labourers who go outside the country? The Central govt needs to work on this…Mera driver bhi gulf country chala gaya…kal ko kuch hoga to khabar to hum tak aa jayegi, but hum inki madad nahi kar payenge. Isliye is vishay par bhi humlog charcha karein (My driver has gone to the Gulf country, tomorrow if something happens, I will definitely come to know, but I won’t be able to help him.

Men do have issues, but women are more vulnerable and not all of them come forward to explain their problems. We need some sort of tracking methodology specially for women labourers,” she said. But despite several attempts to work for the rights of labourers, the Jharkhand government has not been able to implement the deal that it struck with the Border Roads Organisation—under Ministry of Defence—to get better pay for the labourers, mostly from Dumka, who construct roads and bridges in UT of Ladakh Dharmendra says he and his family 'never got their due': 'We don't need the industry to acknowledge us' and other areas.
