Abstract
The Government of India, through its programs and policies, intended to help migrant workers with work, food, travel, and shelter needs that were attenuated by their informal nature of work and lockdown situations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors were intrigued by the decision of the migrants to return to their work State despite the grave difficulties they faced during the pandemic and the struggles they underwent in returning to their home States, leading to an exodus of circular migration. Using thematic analysis, this phenomenon of circular migration was analyzed through the lens of performance and reformation of policies (and programs) by the Indian government.
