Consultation: Mobile citizens, portable rights

Convener: Dr Indrajit Roy

Date: May 9, 9am - 5pm

Venue: RCH/103

By exploring and discussing governmental interventions that facilitate the social and political inclusion of internal migrants, the consultation will contribute to a Policy Brief on social and political inclusion of internal migrants being developed by three practitioners from India: Harsh Mander (Centre for Equity Studies), Priyanka Jain (Ajeevika Bureau) and Ravi Raman (Kerala State Planning Board). Their work build on our year-long collaboration over the ESRC-funded research project Fragmented Transitions. We plan for the consultation to be a day-long and focussed interaction between academics, practitioners and policy analysts with an interest in this issue within and beyond the Indian context.

YARN in collaboration with CAHR.
