MigrantConnect is a digital platform designed to streamline the management of migrant workers and ensure an efficient grievance redressal process. The system acts as a bridge between migrant laborers, employers, and authorities, promoting transparency, justice, and fair labor practices. It offers a centralized environment to register workers, manage job placements, and track complaints in a structured, user-friendly, and secure manner. With features like role-based access, complaint status tracking, and job postings, MigrantConnect empowers laborers with access to support services and helps officials maintain accountability across the workforce ecosystem.
Project Overview
MigrantConnect is a comprehensive digital platform developed to streamline the management of migrant laborers and facilitate a transparent and structured grievance redressal mechanism. The system acts as a centralized interface connecting migrant workers, administrators, employers, and grievance officers, ensuring worker welfare, job placement monitoring, and timely complaint resolution.
The platform is built with an intuitive interface and robust features to track worker registrations, assign unique IDs, maintain job histories, and monitor access to essential support services such as healthcare, legal aid, and housing. Migrant workers can easily register their details, update their employment status, and file complaints regarding wages, safety, or abuse. At the same time, administrators can manage shelter allocations, view complaint logs, and coordinate with grievance officers for fast resolutions.
MigrantConnects core objective is to improve the visibility, safety, and rights of migrant workers while enabling efficient backend management for government and NGO authorities involved in labor welfare.
