Given the importance of migration to millions of Indian households, our vision is to ensure regulations and policies help Indians grab the opportunities that migration has to offer. The promotion and protection of welfare of emigrants is a core part of our work. and in order to understand the emigration policy framework, the team analyzed the trajectory of emigration policies in India and its evolution from pre-independence to the Draft Emigration Bill 2019. Along with this we also conducted interviews with emigrants, return migrants, field experts, policy makers, researchers and academicians to fully understand the migration trajectory from the decision to migrate to the reintegration in the source.
