NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that discussions are underway to set up a migration commission for the employment of migrant labourers.
His remarks came in the backdrop of the reverse migration of millions of workers to their native states amid the nationwide lockdown. "At some places, work to map the skills of labourers is taking place; at some start-ups are involved in this task; and elsewhere the constitution of migration commission is being considered," Modi said in his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat'.
Besides, he said, steps are being taken to open up opportunity for employment, self-employment, and small-scale industries in villages.
