International Rescue Committee Research on Refugee and Migrant Support in India: <\/strong>Founded in 1985, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has been one of the most recognisable forces worldwide in the field of humanitarian relief, where our work remains rooted in the core values of safety, dignity and hope to millions displaced by conflict and disaster. The recent study funded by the IRC on refugee and migrant support in India reveals the features of the remote population and highlights the areas of sustainable intervention possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although India is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, it has long accommodated various communities of refugees seeking refuge, such as the Tibetans, Sri Lankan Tamils, Rohingya, and Afghan migrants. However, the support networks of such people are still disproportionate, frequently blocked by legislative uncertainty, lack of services, and socio-economic insecurities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research carried out by the IRC synthesises on-the-ground information, interviews with stakeholders, and policy reviews to identify gaps in protection, livelihood opportunities, education<\/a>, and healthcare <\/a>for refugees and migrants in India. It also discusses new strategies for incorporating displaced people into neighbourhood economies <\/a>and communities, with particular emphasis on interagency collaborations between the government, NGOs<\/a>, and the corporate world. Putting the lived experiences of refugees at the core of its findings, the IRC points to the necessity of more inclusive and rights-based approaches that do more than simply offer immediate relief to help build long-term resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work not only influences policy and practice but also makes the voices of some of the most marginalised communities in the nation heard, so policy reflects the global commitment to safeguard and empower the people who are displaced and forced to resume their lives in foreign locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
