Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, thousands of migrant workers across the country were left unemployed. The state of Nagaland registered 15,019 of such migrant workers who returned back to the state out of a total of around 27,000 returnees. To address the issue, the department of Industries and commerce launched the portal of the Livelihood generation programme for returned migrant workers due to COVID-19 pandemic. Initiated by the department of industries and commerce and funded by the North Eastern Council (NEC) Shillong, the programme aims to support 100 new enterprises by year end.
