Dear Reader, We hope that you have had a good start to the financial year and a chance to reflect on the year that went by! In this edition of the newsletter, we have curated a few reports that have reflected on the impact of the pandemic on the labor market and employment trends globally. They also provide recommendations on the efforts taken by countries globally. From 'Voices from the Ground', we bring to you 3 stories of people living in the tea garden and their aspiration for the future. Our 'In the News' section looks into the efforts taken by Union Ministers and a few state governments to promote skill development for all sections of society, in an attempt to make it an inclusive and accessible space. With the summer months approaching, we hope you stay well and hydrated! |

Shades of Blue in the Green Tea Gardens The tea-gardens represent a very niche community among all other regions of India and have their own set of benefits & challenges. Livelihoods in this region are influenced by multiple stakeholders- tea-management/plantation owners, labor welfare unions, Tea-board of India and local community level administrative bodies in addition to the government. The community has been suffering from complex social, political and economic challenges ever since the plantation labor act came into operation. Our team visited tea gardens in the three districts of Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling and had the opportunity to hear diverse human stories with challenges that are so unique yet binds all the youth of the country. These stories serve as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the youth who continue to strive towards a better future. |
