- Highlights the twenty-year experience of the Kerala Migration Surveys, how its model has been adapted in various states and led to the proposed large-scale India Migration Survey; and
- Explores issues of migration politics and governance, as well as return migration strategies of other countries to provide a roadmap for India.
