Distress Seasonal Migration is The Survival Strategies For The Working Poor of Western Odisha
 ,
Abstract

It is reported frequently by the local newspapers, local NGOs and social activists of the region that the poor seasonal migrants face innumerable problems in their place of work. The poor families of the region are allured by the labour contractors and outsider employers by giving them advance lump sum cash to work with them for a fixed period on contractual basis. However, in the worksites the migrant families comprising often husband, wife and children are forced to work for more than 12 to14 hours a day on piece rate basis at a very subliminal wage. Many employers in the worksites do not provide them minimum basic amenities although they promise rosy picture of lodging and boarding including health services for all and education facilities for the small children. They are kept in semi-starved condition by the employers. For their hand to mouth existence the employers pay them around Rs.250 to 300 per week towards food allowance. Many when fall sick do not get any health care support. It is also alleged that the migrant worker families often return with empty cash under distress condition.
