Remember, your home is their place of work, their 'office'. Coming to 'office's gives them dignity more alongside livelihood. My household assistant said she was able to restart milk for her children once she got her paycheck. RWAs should not do this. Not dignified.

The other buffer is the mid-day meal in schools. Jean fought for this in the early 1990s. By 1995, it was institutionalized in a universal manner. Today, each village has a school with a building and an arrangement to serve cooked meals.
Once ridiculed MGNREGS is turning out to be the biggest buffer against loss of livelihood of younger workers due to reverse migration forced by the lockdown in India.
