• The new Code, 2020, aims to provide an option for inter-state migrant workers.
  • They can avail benefits of PDS either in their native state or where they are employed.
  • This is significant because migrant workers often lose access to benefits when they move.
  • Portability ensures continuous access to essential services like food.
  • It addresses the challenge of lack of identity proof and inaccessibility to state services.
  • This improves their social security and welfare.
