The emerging lesson is that if the State government plays a proactive role, it can lead to significant impact in terms of addressing the core issues of setting up workers pool, formal agreements between the workers and the owners of the brick kilns/rice mills, etc. Trying these processes/tools in a single bloc/taluk or one district will not achieve major results. Considering the high degree of inter-state and inter-district migration in India and the well documented evidence of vulnerability to bondage, a strong lesson that emerges is the need for a GoI program and institutional architecture to address the issue at national level. Integrating his with social security schemes and enforcement activities at operational level will help. This can be done with appropriate sensitization of government staff at different levels and enlisting cooperation of employers. Convergence and coordination among different governmental agencies is crucial for reaching out to migrant target group and ensuring that they break out of bondage and also get easy access to all intended government schemes.
