&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Both in urban and rural areas, there are many issues that will need to be addressed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that we are currently passing through will have a disastrous effect on the life of large numbers of people across the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The situation is far more serious than what the government recognises or acknowledges. The major impact is going to be on the poorer sections of society that constitute more than half the population, particularly the daily wage earners who were suddenly rendered helpless with the onset of the pandemic and the arbitrary announcement of total lockdown in March 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These were people who lived in the slums and highly congested areas in cities who could not pay the rent for their homes, and did not know how to feed their families. They headed for their homes in rural areas, and it is estimated that between 25 to 30 million migrants left the cities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Many of them found no work after returning home, and their household income fell drastically. With the partial revival of economic activities after the first lockdown a number of them returned to the cities by February 2021, finding employment at salaries that were 8% to 10% less than what they had previously earned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The massive surge in the second pandemic has now hit them really hard, leading to uncertainty and fear, as they have again returned to their villages. They urgently need support to help them and their families to settle down and plan for their future. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Except for a draft national policy on migrant labour prepared by Niti Aayog, government agencies entrusted to provide help under various schemes have made no attempt to study, record, and analyse the details of the massive migration of workers that took place last year, nor is there any real sympathetic response to the uncertain future that they are faced with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The various schemes set up by the government to provide food and jobs have not reached a large number of migrants. Recent surveys have revealed that 74% of them had no access to subsidised cereals like rice and wheat, and only 12% got pulses. Less than 10% got jobs in public works at their native place under the MGNREGA scheme.&lt;/p&gt;

The major impact is going to be on the poorer sections of society that constitute more than half the population, particularly the daily wage earners who were suddenly rendered helpless with the onset of the pandemic and the arbitrary announcement of total lockdown in March 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These were people who lived in the slums and highly congested areas in cities who could not pay the rent for their homes, and did not know how to feed their families. They headed for their homes in rural areas, and it is estimated that between 25 to 30 million migrants left the cities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Many of them found no work after returning home, and their household income fell drastically. With the partial revival of economic activities after the first lockdown a number of them returned to the cities by February 2021, finding employment at salaries that were 8% to 10% less than what they had previously earned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The massive surge in the second pandemic has now hit them really hard, leading to uncertainty and fear, as they have again returned to their villages.

Recent surveys have revealed that 74% of them had no access to subsidised cereals like rice and wheat, and only 12% got pulses.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that we are currently passing through will have a disastrous effect on the life of large numbers of people across the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Except for a draft national policy on migrant labour prepared by Niti Aayog, government agencies entrusted to provide help under various schemes have made no attempt to study, record, and analyse the details of the massive migration of workers that took place last year, nor is there any real sympathetic response to the uncertain future that they are faced with.&lt;/p&gt;

Why and How India Needs to Develop Post-Pandemic Settlements -Ranjit Sabikhi

-TheWire.in Both in urban and rural areas, there are many issues that will need to be addressed. The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that we are currently passing through will have a disastrous effect on the life of large numbers of people across the country. The situation is far more serious than what the government recognises or acknowledges. The major impact is going to be on the poorer sections of society that constitute more than half the population, particularly the daily wage earners who were suddenly rendered helpless with the onset of the pandemic and the arbitrary announcement of total lockdown in March 2020. These were people who lived in the slums and highly congested areas in cities who could not pay the rent for their homes, and did not know how to feed their families. They headed for their homes in rural areas, and it is estimated that between 25 to 30 million migrants left the cities. Many of them found no work after returning home, and their household income fell drastically. With the partial revival of economic activities after the first lockdown a number of them returned to the cities by February 2021, finding employment at salaries that were 8% to 10% less than what they had previously earned. The massive surge in the second pandemic has now hit them really hard, leading to uncertainty and fear, as they have again returned to their villages. They urgently need support to help them and their families to settle down and plan for their future.   Except for a draft national policy on migrant labour prepared by Niti Aayog, government agencies entrusted to provide help under various schemes have made no attempt to study, record, and analyse the details of the massive migration of workers that took place last year, nor is there any real sympathetic response to the uncertain future that they are faced with. The various schemes set up by the government to provide food and jobs have not reached a large number of migrants. Recent surveys have revealed that 74% of them had no access to subsidised cereals like rice and wheat, and only 12% got pulses. Less than 10% got jobs in public works at their native place under the MGNREGA scheme. Please click here to read more.
