Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Narendra Modi's war against black money has drawn to an unexciting close. Though it successfully paved the way for broadening India's tax base, what is irking the proponents is the slow-paced migrant labour mobility. Numbers are still not available, but it is evident that the demonetization triggered an exodus of migrant workers from various job clusters across the country to rural India after economic activities in cash markets fell silent in last November. Now, even after generous measures by the government, the juggernaut has not started rolling and migrant labourers are yet to return to their respective places of work.
