In the wake of the migrant worker crisis, the Supreme Court issued five major directions to Union and state governments on June 29, 2021. 

In the wake of the sudden announcement of nationwide lockdown in March 2020, millions of people decided to go back to their villages, towns and cities. Television channels filled with images of men, women and children, walking barefoot, some lugging suitcases with children on top were brought to living rooms of middle classes.  

The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the plight of migrants in Re: Problems and miseries of migrant labourers, writ Petition No SMWP(C) 6/2020,  and on June 29, 2021, it passed an order of great significance for the well-being of migrant labour. 

There are five major directions in the said order, which will be discussed in this two-part article series. The first four directions of the Supreme Court will be discussed in the first article, and the fifth in the second article. 

Firstly, the Union as well as the respective state governments have to put in place a portal for the registration of the unorganised labourers and migrant workers by July 31, 2021. The process of registration must be completed at the earliest, but no later than December 31, 2021. 

The idea is to ensure that the benefits announced by the Union and the state governments reach all such workers. It is important to highlight here that in addition to the migrant workers, unorganised workers who have stayed back in their home towns and villages, are also supposed to be registered on this portal. While precise estimates are not available, out of about 38 crore unorganised workers, migrant workers could be about eight crore. Since most of them may not be benefiting from any government scheme, their identification and registration will be very challenging. Similarly, the registration of the balance 30 crore workers (who have not migrated) is also not going to be easy.
