(a) to (d): The  data  regarding    number  of  migrant  labourers  working  in various States/UTs of India as per Census 2011 is given at the Annexure.

However,  the  data  of  migrant  labourers  during  the  last  five years is not available. For this purpose Labour Bureau under Ministry of Labour  &  Employment  has  launched    an  All  India  Survey  of  Migrant workers  with  effect  from  01.04.2021.  Due  to  pandemic,  field  work  was temporarily suspended but has resumed from 15.07.2021.
