Dimapur, March 4 (MExN): The North East Support Centre & Helpline (NESCH) has completed a research project on “North East Migration” and challenges of sexual harassment, racial discrimination and trends of Human Trafficking in Delhi and National Capital Region. The NESCH will release the report on International Women’s Day, at the organization’s office on March 8, at 2 PM. The NESCH said the exclusive findings on the trend of North East migration and its push and pull factors are lack of education infrastructure and employment opportunities. These are two major push factors, affected by socio-political crisis in the region, NESCH stated.
“No adequate investment so far to develop education sector in the region. Union Government's 2011-12 announce by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee with Rs 8000 crores is too little compare to how much is spent by parents to support their children studying outside of Manipur,” the organization stated in a press release today.
According to the organization, there are over 2.5 lakh students from the North East region who have migrated to study in other cities of India. It annually costs one-fifth of the Union Government's 2011-12 budget and without specific investment.
“The challenges faced by NE communities in Delhi have a paradigm shift from racial discrimination to sexual violence and from sexual violence to human trafficking. The last trend is more worrisome as done by organized criminals than earlier issues of racial attach and sexual violence,” the NESCH said.
The research report has a series of recommendation for the Union Government, Delhi Government, Delhi and NCR Police, North East India state governments and civil societies to look at to develop relevance laws, policies, and plan of actions to deal with the trend of push factors to migration and challenges faced in Delhi and NCR.
The report will be in e-format in PDF file and would be available on request.
