Migrant Assistance and Information Network (MAIN) is an initiative of the Jesuit Collective, which supports migrants in distress, across India. It is based on the perceived need for a coordinated, collective, and innovative response to reach out to the distressed migrant workers, internal and interstate.
To be effective in this mission, the Jesuits firmly believe that aligning their educational, social, pastoral and youth networks, spread across India, with CSOs, NGOs, people's organizations, networks. religious congregations, dioceses, public and private institutions, volunteers, alumni, and people of goodwill, will bring multifold positive outcomes in improving the quality of life of the distressed migrants. Thus, the model is conceived as a collaborative and networking venture. Contributions from individuals and organizations will be duly acknowledged. The model eventually aims at strengthening the agency of the migrants, enhanced by research and policy advocacy, and considers migrant leaders as partners in this initiative.
