Studies all over the world, including in our country, have shown that migrant workers are especially vulnerable to this disease. Our society is urbanising very fast. The number of migrant workers is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, we have not paid enough attention to their working and living conditions. What compounds their condition is their unorganised nature.
Most migrant workers are in some way or the other linked to business activities.
I, therefore, urge the Indian business community to reach out to them. Contribute your utmost to improving hygiene, sanitation and the general condition of their work, habitation and healthcare. Show that you care for them as human beings, and not only as paid workers who are needed for your business operations. Friends, You have to act with a sense of responsibility towards the nation and towards your own businesses. You have to act philanthropically.
