Migration is a central feature of the contemporary world of work. In the context of India, migration flows, both internal and international, assumes paramount significance in livelihood options and development process. It is very well acknowledged that migration have had very positive developmental outcomes in the origin and destination centres. Considering that a large number of internal as well as international labour migrants return to their place of origin due to the temporary nature of migration flows, there is increased attention on maximising the development benefits of migration through appropriate reintegration of return migrants. In such a context, linking migration with the skills of migrants, particularly in terms of the skills acquired in the destination centres, is pivotal for facilitating effective reintegration policies. It is within this broad context that this training programme focusses on various dimensions of the inter-linkages between migration, skills and reintegration.

• The programme is being organised by the V.V. Giri National Labour Institute with the following main objectives:-
• Understand the emerging contours of the contemporary migration flows in India;
• Explicate the linkage between migration and skills;
• Discuss the good practices in harnessing the skills of migrants in reintegration strategies; and
• Examine approaches for maximising the development outcomes of migration
