Maharashtra became India’s 1st state to develop Migration Tracking System app
Highlights:
- Maharashtra became the first state in India to develop a website-based Migration Tracking System (MTS) application to track the movement of migrant workers through individual unique identity numbers.
- The MTS project aims to ensure the continuity of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) for migrant beneficiaries, such as children under the age of 18, lactating mothers, and pregnant women who are registered with Anganwadi centres.
- Migration workers will be tracked to ensure the portability of the ICDS for their families in their destination districts within or outside the state until their return to their native places.
- ICDS is a centrally sponsored scheme implemented by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
- It was launched in 1975.
