NEW DELHI : Keeping migrant workers away from economic nerve centres would only delay economic recovery, argues Ajit Isaac, chairman & MD at Quess Corp Limited, one of India's largest staffing and business services companies.
Excerpts from an interview with Mint.How sustainable would be an economic recovery with many migrant workers back in their villages?There are 120 million migrant workers and one out of four have gone back, which is 30 million.
Getting them back is very critical to getting the economy restarted. We think that employers, government, NGOs and industry bodies should come together to provide five things — accommodation, transport, food, healthcare, training and development.
