International Organization for Migration (IOM), in a study in 2005 records that around 190 million people i.e., 3 per cent of the world’s population, lived in a place different from the one in which they were born. This figure throws light on the colossal amount and complexity of the phenomenon called migration. It is local as well as international. This had been there since time immemorial but given the recent developments i.e., Covid 19 Pandemic, it has reached proportions never seen before. Of late heart rendering pictures of their plight have sent shivers down our spine. The very group that had been contributing towards the development of our country by the sheer sweat of their brow, their labour, are now struggling to get back home alive. Their voices are neither heard by the politicians in the villages they had left behind for “greener pastures‟ nor by the ones in cities where they spend a large part of their working life. The present paper tries sheds some light on their present state amid this pandemic.
