Organization Description:

The Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development (CMID) is an independent non-profit that advocates for and promotes social inclusion of internal and international migrants in India. CMID conducts research, runs helplines and legal aid, and supports networks of migrant workers, women, and families across sending and receiving states. Its work bridges civil society, government, and employers to address recruitment abuses, working conditions, access to social protection, and integration of migrants into host communities.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: India's shrimp processing plants rely heavily on inter-state migrant women, often recruited through informal intermediaries. CMID's expertise in safe migration, grievance handling, and labor-rights documentation makes it a relevant partner for initiatives focused on migrant peeling-shed workers.
