Which state commenced its first survey of migrants?

Solution

In October 2021, the Jharkhand government launched the Safe and Responsible Migration Initiative to enable systemic registration of migrant workers. For now, the SRMI is operative in three districts—Gumla, Dumka and West Singhbhum. The objective is to prepare a database of migrant workers that can be used when the government is formulating policies. Two-month exercise involves 24 districts, 60 enumerators and 11,000 households.
