Joblessness haunts people of extremely backward district of Kalahandi
Given a choice, Narendra Majhi, 30, (name changed) would have preferred to stay back home and mourn his two-year-old daughter who died just over a week ago.
But faced with a life of abject poverty in his native village of Thuamul Rampur block of the extremely backward district of Kalahandi district in Odisha after being forced to return from Kerala during the lockdown, he could hardly afford that luxury.

Kerala has emerged the preferred destination of migrant workers, mostly young men, from Thuamul Rampur, the development block with the highest incidence of poverty and largest Scheduled Tribe population in Kalahandi district of Odisha, a recent study has found.
The study on labour migration from Thuamul Rampur was commissioned by Gram Vikas, a NGO engaged in rural development in Odisha, and the Kochi-based Centre for Migration and Inclusive Development. The survey in this regard was conducted between December 2019 and January 2020 with a sample size of 440 households spread over 22 villages with 20 households from each village. Overall, about 6% of the population of Thuamul Rampur earned a living as migrant workers, found the study, which was published in November.
