We are pleased to invite you to the launch of Urban India’s ‘Special Issue on Migration’, which contains a set of papers brought out by NGO partners of SHRAMIC on 13 February 2015 at New Delhi. Urban India is brought out by the National Institute of Urban Affairs. Strengthen and Harmonize Research and Action on Migration (SHRAMIC), an initiative funded by the Tata Trusts, has supported a network of grassroots NGOs and reputed academic institutions, including CPR, IGIDR and NIUA, to better understand migration and labour market issues across India and South Asia and enable evidence-based policy formulation. The papers in this special issue shed light on driver and impacts of migration and labour market in cities, among other valuable perspectives from the field. Collectively, the papers mark an important milestone in SHRAMIC’s journey. The launch will be followed by two panel discussions among eminent industry experts, academicians and policymakers addressing the need to adress labour market issues. The details are given below: Panel 1: Skills, Employability, Jobs: Improving Labour Market Outcomes in Indian Cities Panel 2: Nature, Extent, Effectiveness of Migration as a Livelihood Strategy: Role of Government & Judiciary
