Top 4 organisations reskilling migrant workers for economic recovery

Pandemic and lockdown had forced many vulnerable migrants to walk back to their homes after having lost their jobs. Those who came to metro cities to make a living were called off from their jobs as there was no cash flow in companies. A major part of the migrant workforce in the suburbs and metros got affected. To support them and bring their lives back on track, a few organizations came forward to bridge the gap by reskilling migrant workers, to equip them with additional skills and open alternate avenues of revenue generation in the market.
