Description
A labour survey underway in Bihar has indicated that outflow of labourers from the state in search of livelihood has further gone down from earlier estimates of 30 per cent on account of development works being carried out in the state. Preliminary reports emanating from the survey suggests a drastic arrest in exodus of workers mainly from districts like Saharsa, Madhubani, Katihar and Purnea in the state. “These areas had earlier witnessed large-scale migration of workforce to other states. This indicates a big drop in migration of labourers from the state in search of livelihood,” Bihar Labour minister Janardan Singh Sigriwal said.
An earlier government survey had revealed that workers flight from Bihar had declined by 30 per cent but is now estimated to have gone down even further, the Minister said. Sigriwal said the survey is being conducted jointly by officials of Labour department and those from A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies and NGOs.
“The report is expected to be submitted in two months,” he said.
The minister attributed drop in movement of labourers from Bihar to states like Punjab, Gujarat, Delhi, Maharashtra and other places to large-scale development works being undertaken by the state government in infrastructure sector which is occupying workforce at home itself.
