The research focuses on exploring the multifaceted aspects of their lives, including their motivations for migration, challenges encountered, coping strategies employed, and perceptions of integration within the healthcare systems of the respective cities. The study adopts an indepth interview approach, conducting 20 interviews with MHCPs from diverse backgrounds, including nurses, care workers, and Social workers. Understanding their experiences can help improve healthcare services and optimise the utilisation of this vital workforce inclusion. Data analysis follows a thematic approach, allowing for the identification of key themes and patterns emerging from the narratives shared by participants. By revisiting the experiences of migrant healthcare professionals, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics surrounding migration, healthcare provision, and integration in urban contexts. The findings provided valuable insights into the challenges and contributions of MHCPs and offered policy recommendations to enhance their successful integration into the healthcare sector. In addition, the findings have implications for policy development, workforce planning, and providing support services for MHCPs in Liverpool, London, and beyond.

Kerala is one of India's most popular immigration destinations, and migrant workers account for a sizable portion of the state's workforce. Because of high pay levels and growing demand for manual labour jobs, migrant workers appear to be in all occupations and sectors of the regional economy. The article also aims to explore and evaluate the state's response to the Covid 19 crisis. Kerala's efforts to address the pandemic demonstrate that they have been innovative and exceptional. Even so, many immigrants are ignorant and work primarily in the informal or unorganised sector in Gulf. The return migrants once were the backbone of Kerala economy has changed to a side-lined community all of a sudden. They are not organised and are neither in a position to negotiate for their rights nor labour standards. Even after the migration period, the life of Gulf migrants is filled with troubles and diseases; thus, they lead their lives without the care of extended family members or the state. These migrants face similar social and economic challenges once they lose the tag of breadwinners for the family. The study exclusively focuses on the socio-economic life- social networks of these migrants who are dumped by the state and society and excluded from society's socio-cultural frame. The present research will help frame new policies for the betterment of return migrants who worked in GCC Countries (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE). The study gives a better outlook for the life of return migrants' in Kerala, especially in Covid 19 scenario.

The GCC Countries have a long-standing relationship with South Asia in terms of both trading links and the movement of persons. The South Asian region has developed as the most important source of migrant labour to the Gulf. The countries of this region share a common history of colonial domination and a long history of labour mobility both inside and outside the region, however, these countries had largely depended on Gulf Money as a main source of their GDP. Labour Migration from South Asia to Gulf countries has played a leading role in defining 21th Century trends on international migration. Migrant workers across the national borders reach the destination in search of better employment opportunities and dreaming better lifestyle etc. Most often the whole process of migration has challenged the identity, existence and rights of migrant workers especially those who cross, national borders.
The proposed book makes an attempt to understand rights, issues and challenges faced by the South Asian migrant workers in the GCC Countries. It also focuses on the struggle of migrants in the state of origin and destination states. In the proposed book the editors try to come up with the findings on the issues and challenges faced by the South Asian migrants in GCC countries. The focus of the book will be on fixing the gap between the best possible policies for migrants, after understanding the ground realities and challenges of migrants. The rights, issues and challenges faced by the migrants are still untouched in the line of academia, we will be commissioning the research papers and articles with both field and theoretical experience. We welcome research papers from the line of academia and policymakers, which can be theoretical, and empirical writings which help for better policy analysis and best advocacy work for the life of migrants.
The papers are invited from the scholars who are working in the field of migration studies on the mentioned themes,

This process of migration is mostly visible in the developing countries like India. In India especially for the southern state of India (Kerala), Gulf has become an un-ending labour source since decades; especially after the oil boom of 1970s. This oil boom has given rise to great investment programs for the oil-producing Arab countries, which results in huge increase of demand for labourers. These labour gaps is filled by the workers from the developed countries mostly from the workers of Kerala; India. The higher rate of emigration towards the Gulf has shown a larger impact in the social and cultural life of people in Kerala. Even the food habits, socio-cultural lifestyle has been adapted from the Arab culture. The socio-economic links and development in Kerala from the Gulf money is huge; even their one-fifth of the total state GDP is Gulf money. However, there is huge exploitation for the workers engaged in the low paid jobs. Their well-being is challenged in both the origin and destination states. Even after the period of migration; the life of Gulf migrants is filled with troubles and diseases; thus they lead their life without the care of extended family members or state. These migrants do face similar social and economic challenges once they lose the tag of bread-winners for the family. The study exclusively focuses on the socio-economic life-social networks of these migrants who dumped by the state and society by and large; excluded from the socio-cultural frame of society. The present research will help to frame new policies for the betterment of return migrants worked at GCC Countries (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE).

T... more For all of human history, people have been involved in the process of migration for livelihood. The changing trends and challenges of migration seem to differ in developed and developing countries like India – a land of high migration. UNESCO (2013) claims three out of ten Indians are moving across the state for livelihood - more than 400 million people. This movement has impacted as population shift, a rural-urban developmental divide and in unequal modes of development in the southern and northern parts of India. A recent trend is the shifting of the labour force from rural areas of the northern states into the comparatively more developed parts of the southern state of Kerala. Kerala itself is noted for high out-migration overseas to the Gulf and other developed nations, as well as for high education and skills levels and a reluctance among youth to take up non-white collar work. This leaves gaps in the state in unskilled and manual labouring sectors and in the unorganised economy. Internal migrants from north India are filling these gaps and Kerala is becoming the ‘new Gulf of India’, with a population of 30-40 lakh inter-state migrant workers. This study explores these changing trends, via interview work with a focus on the attitude and perception of government stakeholders and migrant workers in the state. The research used snowball sampling to gather 60 respondents who are ‘government stakeholders’ - ranging from district and assistant labour officers, police officials, to judges and advocates, all of whom are directly involved in management of and who have some exposure to the issues of migrant workers in the state. The paper contributes new understandings to public debates about migration and emphasises the need for shifts in role and attitudes among government stakeholders and internal migrants.

Similarly, Kerala is known for many initiatives of women for the empowerment of women. This study shows how and up to which extent the membership in Kudumbasree leads to more equitable gender relations and economic advancement in rural areas especially in Fortkochi village. Rural women who were regarded as voiceless and powerless started identifying their inner strength opportunities for growth and their role in reshaping their destiny. The process of empowerment through Kudumbasree by means of Ayalkoottam becomes the signal light to their children, their families and societies at large. The study has been designed to study the effectiveness of Kudumbasree in empowering women. It also focuses in studying the barriers and problems faced by women having a role and part in Kudumbasree. Through interview technique data has been collected from 50 women who are members of Kudumbasree and are residents of Fortkochi village. The sampling technique was purposive. Data has been collected using a structured interview schedule and has been analyzed qualitatively. Women of Fortkochi reported that the scheme Kudumbasree made a lot of changes in their lives and status. Similarly, they learned a lot from the meetings on how to deal effectively, how to manage relations and even how to make use of finance fruitfully. They also pointed out certain barriers as well.

In the Earlier part of the 20th century, ‘Child Rights’ remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. India, is not an
exemption, even it is blessed with the important legislations, constitutional provisions and remarkable judgments on child rights,
which is always build on the platform of relevant regional and international mechanisms and international standards of
behaviour towards children, still it fails while addressing and eliminating the issues of children mostly from the deep roots of our
Indian society.
Here in this Paper researcher suggest some innovative measures through a close understanding of the socio-cultural Identities of
the Indian Society, which helps to eradicate the ‘extreme roots of poverty’, charging means (Economic & Social) towards child
labour and child trafficking, with the strong support of Constitutional Norms and Innovative socio-educational nuances in the
Indian society. These measures are succeeded to a large extend in the ‘Rurban’ areas of India.

The population of internal migrants in India went up from 309 million in 2001 to 400 million in 2011. Migrants today face crucial problems regarding their identity , child education , health issues , problems faced by female migrants, legal aid, and other disputes. To over come these problems and to enhance the betterment and progress of migrant workers in India , some serious measures should be taken by the government and civil societies including NGOs. This paper tries to focus on some problems and its measures can be adopted for the betterment of internal migrants in india thus we can move together to a social progress.

However, in this paper, weexplore the changing dynamics of women empowerment which highly impacted on the grass roots creates a reflecting change in peoples planning, higher literacy (almost 100%),innovative health measures and so on. The South Indian state of Kerala is known for many initiatives, especially on the empowerment of women. This study shows how and up to which extent the membership in Kudumbasree(self help-women empowerment groups-set up among family and neighbors) leads to more equitable gender relations and economic advancement in rural areas especially in Kochi. Rural women who were regarded as voiceless and powerless started identifying their inner strength opportunities for growth and their role in reshaping their destiny. The process of empowerment through Kudumbasree by means of Ayalkoottam (a focus group formed of female members of family or neighbors), becomes the signal light to their children, their families and societies at large. The study has been designed to study the effectiveness ofKudumbasree in empowering women. It also focuses onanalyzing the challenges and problems faced by women having a role and part in Kudumbasree.

Juxtaposed to this trend is the breakup of the Congress Party"s hegemony and the subsequent growth of regional political parties. With the ebbing of congressional power and the elimination of its Socialist economic constraints, the Indian economy has embraced greater growth as the number of Indians living below the poverty line diminishes. Khilnani attributes much of this growth to India"s cities, which emerge as paradoxical points of exclusion and economic dynamism when compared with rural India. In the process, national identity has in Khilnani"s vision been subsumed by regional political focuses, urban and rural divisions, and greater religious identification. Hence, India"s future will necessitate the continuance of a viable democracy sustaining the economic, cultural, and social diversity of the subcontinent. The author skillfully draws out the ironies and paradoxes of Indian history with a subtle, illuminating prose. For informed readers.

India has made a pledge sixty-nine years ago to build a more inclusive, secular and educated society which would equitably integrate its religious minorities while respecting their distinct identities and differences. This mostly seems a dream of the largest minority community, Muslims, who constitute 13.4 percent of the population, who are socially economically and educationally backward. The present Muslim society is socially excluded from the mainstream development and the reasons are many such as economic poverty, gender inequality, attitude towards development, lack of common linking between madrassa and modern education et al. Today, religious minorities are the most vulnerable section of the Indian society and Muslim in particular. Education – the primary goal of a society seems to be a day-dream to the larger sections of the community. It is the basic right of every human being. The present study has identified the problems of Muslim’s educational vision in India and further address the proper suggestion and measures for improvement in their vision. Education is the basic mechanism that develops the social, economic, and cultural enhancement of any communities. Among all the religious groups, Muslims are in the least educated section of Indian Society. The backwardness among Muslims in comparison with not-Muslims in India have become a matter of concern at present. The objective of this paper is to address the educational vision of Muslims in India and to find out the proper measures for enhancement in their vision. The paper concludes the lack of vision is the main cause of deprivation among Muslim society.
