Authorities in Odisha, India have decided to expand a national scheme in order to address the exploitation of vulnerable workers. Odisha houses many migrants, who are driven there due to poverty. In order to address debt bondage, which traps migrant workers, the state intends to double the amount of paid work that it offers its residents who are most in need. Giving vulnerable citizens work near their home helps workers avoid debt bondage, and other forms of labor slavery and exploitation.
