Sponsored by the South Asia Network of Economic Research Institutions (SANEI) the study will seek to understand the role and nature of migration in facilitating development of the poor origin locations. It will also try to develop an understanding of the scope to use migrants as a development facilitator in the poor regions in India, as well as the key development support that is needed to facilitate changes at the origin.
