However, disadvantaged groups are under-represented in Indian policy making fora. Internal labour migrants in India, for example, are consistently left-out from the various social and development policies and lack a voice in the programmes that are intended to benefit them. This can jeopardize the responsiveness of health and social needs for migrants and undermine their overall development. It is necessary therefore to design innovative strategies that can bolster migrants participation. This paper looks at the current situation of internal migrants in India including their health and policy environment and offers several insights that could transform policy making it more inclusive. It suggests more funding opportunities for future research activities and implementation of sound migrant-friendly health initiatives.__ampersandsignnbsp;&#13;
