About us
Jan Sahas was founded in the year 2000 to ensure dignity for India’s most socially excluded
communities. Since then, we have made significant contributions to support communities and shift
systems to address forced labor, sexual violence (e.g., designed and piloted a nationally recognized
model for survivor support center), and manual scavenging (e.g., helped bring about landmark
legislation to prohibit the practice and compensate victims). Today, we work in ~100 districts across 13
states.
The Migrants Resilience Collaborative (MRC) was convened by Jan Sahas in 2020 to plug India’s broken
social protection delivery systems and make migrant families more resilient. MRC builds on Jan Sahas’
two decade-long experience of working with migrants to implement a two-pronged strategy: First, direct
implementation where we work to implement last mile delivery systems, ensuring the most vulnerable
migrants have access to existing social protection schemes. Second, systems change, where we partner
with governments to strengthen infrastructure and implementation, and with industry, where we work
with investors and real-estate companies to improve incentives and accountability towards worker
welfare. Since October 2020, we have reached more than 5 million migrant households.
