The plight of migrant workers in kerala

kerala ,which  is always holding up the title of god's own country and with the slogan of "aditi devi bhava"i.e guests should be treated as guests is doing injustice to the migrant workers from other states especially from the north east. In kerala both the educated and educated youth prefer white collar jobs and they  look down upon traditional labour with contempt.
                         workers from north east have work for low salary in their home states where even basic necessities of human life are considered as luxuries. Here the employees are ruthlessly exploited by the employeers by giving comparitively low wages to migrant workers. They are satisfied because they are unaware of the real wages of their counterpart keralalites.They are forced to menial jobs and had to wok in sanitary conditions.
        Government   should   not keep silence  over the matter. awareness program should be conducted and certain policies for the welfare of workers should be implemented.
