As a result they are not getting the right information and easily cheated. In that context, YPSA established Fair Migration Support Centers (FMCs) at Union Parishads. These centers will assist migrants with right information and steps of safe migration. Migrants who come to this center they will inform of the services of service providers with contact details.
These centers also willdisseminate the information and initiatives of government to protect the rights and welfare of migrants and their family members.
