29th Sept.

Completed morning program. Spent the day reading newspapers. Went to attend a discussion on the policy gaps related to migrant and contractual workers in India in The Institute of Social Sciences. But came to know that it had taken place yesterday. Missed the discussion session which included presentations on field research by three organizations — Ambedkar Institute of Labour Studies, Mumbai, Maniben Kara Labour Studies, Mumbai and the Institute of Social Sciences. They "had over the last one and a half years studied the vulnerabilities of such workers both at the source as well as at the destination regions."
I feel for the migrant and contractual workers who work and live in miserable conditions in our country. I will get the minutes of the discussions for information. Met DG ITBP on way back.
Retired to sleep at 11.15 pm.
