In January 2026, we conducted a series of interviews with young and older stakeholders aged between 7-35 years at the Humanitarian Aid International, NCR Camp, to gain inputs on concerns surrounding migration and assimilation. Focusing on the plight of migrant populations in conflict sensitive areas like Delhi and surrounding spaces, the interviews sought data for NGOs working towards housing, assisting, and ameliorating the conditions of underserved communities through participatory approaches. The questions were further divided into two sections - aiming to gain viewpoints from both; migrant families and the NGO staff, with regards to their past and current experiences with assimilation in India. 

Between April and June 2026, and in collaboration with Humanitarian Aid International (HAI), I also conducted further research into barriers faced by refugee and displaced communities in India. I identified Aadhaar enrolment as a significant challenge for individuals who had been legally permitted to remain in India under exemption frameworks but lacked the documentation typically required for enrolment. Based on my findings, I drafted and submitted a formal policy representation to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). In the representation, I advocated for the recognition of exemption-based legal status as a valid basis for Aadhaar enrolment, acceptance of alternative identity documentation, and the introduction of administrative measures to prevent wrongful rejection of applications. The representation was formally registered through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) under Registration Number MINHA/E/2026/0025939 and remains under consideration by the relevant authorities.
