The
project, through AID, has initiated a system for village
panchayats and migrant forums to act as suppressors of
migration and monitors of public programmes. This is done by
actively undertaking village infrastructure building programmes of
government. These forums play a key role as monitors of minimum
and equal wages in all public asset creation, employment, food
security, welfare and public safety net programmes. They are
trained to identify village commons, encroachments and
alienated lands for restoring livelihood assets.
As part of the innovation in service delivery, the project has
started creating seed and grain banks in each village for
stopping migration, starvation and hunger through the village
panchayats and migrant groups. During harvest/surplus time, each
family is encouraged to give certain measures of grain (kind
contribution). This is supposed to be revolved to migrant and
starving families.
 They are to return back the entire quantity
with kind interest. The same way seed bank is created.
Common Minimum Programme (CMP) of the Government of India enacted
National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme (NREGP) for ensuring
100 days of employment for poor families. The project has
initiated campaign for enactment of NREGP for ensuring
right to employment.
Numbers of workshops have been organized in different
blocks of Garhwa district to sensitize the common villages about
the different negative aspects of migration related problems and
also to gather information regarding the migration and the related
problems. The purpose has been to identify the social, economic
and cultural factors, which are responsible for high level of
incidence of migration; to study on area of exploitation of
migrant family such as long working hours, abnormally low wages,
unhygienic working condition an other undesirable practices; to
judge various impact of migration on the members of the migrant
families viz. on health, on education, on insecurity, problems
face by the women migrants and to understand the roles of
different on-going Government poverty alleviation schemes to
control migration. |
