The states must engage NGOs, factories and charities including religious organisations to raise funds for meeting the expenditure on milk, eggs, cooking oil and vegetables, and even soaps and sanitisers.

Nearly one-fifth of India’s labour force consists of internal migrants. As per the 2011 census, a quarter of the urban population consists of migrants. These tend to be predominantly male, from the less developed northern states, in the lower income strata, and dependent on daily wages or precarious livelihoods. The impact of the lockdown, effected from midnight of March 24, has been particularly severe on migrant workers. Due to uncertainty over the duration of the lockdown, and about their own livelihoods and food security, the lockdown has led to massive reverse migration from cities back to villages. Further, due to the absence of train and bus services, many of these workers took to simply walking back. This was despite the assurances of food and shelter from various “host” state governments, which unfortunately came only after their images were flashing all over the media. The ground reality of inadequate preparation or insufficient provision means that neither their anxiety nor plight is assuaged. Migrant workers tend to depend on public eating places or community arrangements for food. Under a lockdown, there is simply no choice for them, except to depend on the government’s efforts or charitable organisations.
