The Maharashtra state-level consultation on the Implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) objectives happened on 26th February at Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS), Mumbai. As a program with immediate relevance the request for partnership in Maharashtra attracted interest from many. As a premier social science research institute in the state, the CIMS has decided to partner with TISS to organise the one-day consultation with financial support from MFA. The partnership managed to bring together various actors including ministries, government officials, trade Unions, civil society organizations, media, academicians and other stakeholders at the local level. The Centre for Labour Studies in TISS co-hosted the event and provided logistic support.
