A world without borders is possible

Storytelling is critical in electoral politics. But the gap between political storytelling and official data has rarely been wider.

As @benoypeter argues, “When we talk about new investments in a state, we must also examine their nature. A Memorandum of Understanding.
does not always translate into concrete investments on the ground. Moreover, most new investments in India today are highly mechanised and capital-intensive. As a result, they do not always generate significant new jobs and often fail to address the deepening rural employment crisis, which is increasingly worsened by the climate crisis.”

Want to understand the nuances of the impact of climate change on rural India? Had the opportunity to lead this study travelling extensively in the eastern ghats region of rural Odisha

This certainly is a concern

Sad to see my words manipulated to dramatise the news. As mentioned in the body of the article, I had said, the Muslim workers from Bengal do not celebrate Durga Puja in Kerala. Toufik has not disagreed to that if one reads his response. Have greater expectations from

[The Telegraph @ttindia]

Benoy Peter, co-founder of the Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development, Kochi, said that at least half the Bengali migrants in Kerala are Muslim and don't celebrate Durga Puja. But Toufik, 33, disagreed

Providing quality services consistently at a location & time convenient to migrants with a team who can communicate can reduce barriers to access.

Read the article by @benoypeter, Executive Director of CMID, where he raises important questions about rights of indigenous populations and the contradictions in the current development discourse.

There is no decline in labour migration in India. In fact, migration is increasing, fast tracking human development in rural India

[Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development @CMIDTrust]

A study Profiling Labour Migration from Daringbadi Block, Kandhamal Dt, by CMID, in partnership with @GramVikasIN & supported by Axis Bank Foundation, uncovers the changing nature of migration from Odisha’s tribal hinterlands. Scan the QR code or follow: https://t.co/cVAae49ERH

@AtishiAAP let us be "Dilwale' than 'Dilliwale'. No child should be denied school admission due to lack of docs. After all, most 'Dilliwale' are migrants. Let us deal with adults on irregular migration and ensure every child in school, the safest place for them

[Atishi @AtishiAAP]

एक तरफ़ भाजपा वाले हैं जो बांग्लादेश से बॉर्डर पार करवा कर रोहिंग्याओं को दिल्ली लाते हैं और दिल्ली वालों के हक़ के EWS फ्लैट और दिल्ली वालों के हक़ की सुविधाएँ उन्हें देते हैं।

दूसरी ओर आम आदमी पार्टी की दिल्ली सरकार है जो हर संभव कदम उठा रही है कि दिल्ली वालों का हक रोहिंग्याओं को ना मिले। आज दिल्ली सरकार के शिक्षा विभाग ने सख्त आदेश पारित किया है कि किसी भी रोहिंग्या को दिल्ली के सरकारी स्कूलों में एडमिशन नहीं देना है।

हम दिल्ली वालों का हक छिनने नहीं देंगे!

Although disasters impact everyone, the impact on most marginalised is catastrophic. CMID's study offers important insights on the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable populations, examining the landslides & floods in Kerala in 2018 & 2019. Scan the QR code to read report.

Can anyone help building a web portal for public to report migrant deaths in India?

[Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development @CMIDTrust]

Most migrant deaths are hushed up and never get reported. If at all, they are reported offline, in the local pages of newspapers. CMID found that over migrant 120 deaths have been reported in India during Jan to June 2024. #migration #migrants #migrantdeaths #CMID

[Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development @CMIDTrust]

The paper by @benoypeter & @libytj synthesises the programme experience & lessons learned by Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development & @GramVikasIN & provides insights on some of the high-impact strategies that could promote the inclusion of migrant workers at grassroots.

[Benoy Peter @benoypeter]

@libytj @CMIDTrust Thanks Liby @migrantcell_JH also flagged this case. We intervened. The workers' allegations are only partly true. The matter is settled today in front of the labour officer. They will be leaving

We need measures beyond NREGA to address the livelihood challenges in rural India. At the same time we can increase NREGA wages to 400 and workdays to 300 per year.

“The new government will need to tackle unemployment, stagnant wages and losses linked to climate change in the countryside”

“All successive governments have miserably failed to address (this economic distress”
