What we know
Distress migration from Purvanchal and Bundelkhand is decades old. Workers go to Mumbai, Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat and the Gulf. Many are registered to vote at home but rarely manage to vote.
Open questions
- Which districts send the most workers out, and to where?
- What would it take for a district to keep its young workers, and has any district managed it?
- How can a worker who is away for most of the year stay registered to vote at home?
