READ has been working with the most marginalized communities—Tribals, Dalits, and migrants—in Tamil Nadu for the past 26 years, with a strong focus on labour welfare and labour rights

READ’s key interventions include safe migration for interstate migrants, education for migrant children, healthcare support, and grievance redressal for migrant workers.

In recognition of this work, the Tamil Nadu State Labour Commissioner selected READ for an Appreciation Award, which will give in Chennai on 9 February 2026.

We sincerely thank all our supporters and stakeholders for their continued support and partnership.
