I read The Mint on migration by Prof Priya article with great interest as a migration researcher and the concerns are known, but is there intellectual infrastructure in the country willing to take up the challenge. Migration academia is seen to marginal within the development studies mandate and the entire load is on NGOs on the ground and the media, both mainstream and non profit.
There are few stand-alone think tanks and research organisations on migration governance as well. When more focus is placed on migration, institutional capacity is built for the long term.
