Father Prem Xalxo “Migration is migration. It is what makes us, and it is the story of hope amidst misery for countless tribal families pushed to cities for survival,” He highlighted the difficult realities faced by tribal migrants, saying, “They are uprooted from close-knit communities and placed alone in unfamiliar lands, compelled to adjust to new, often harsh realities. Many work in homes where respect for their rights and dignity is fragile or absent.” Father Prem underscored the need for collective empowerment and community solidarity. He stressed that migration should not be viewed solely as distress but also as a survival strategy rooted in hope.
