ISLAMABAD: The country’s first-ever Migrant Resource Centre (MRC), after running a successful pilot project in the federal capital, will expand its offices to Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh under a four-year project. The centre was established by the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development with the support of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and International Centre for Migration Policy Development in October 2015. The centre was established mainly to ensure the welfare and protection of migrant workers by providing them accurate and timely information about safe and legal migration.
