Abstract
In a country like India with an exploding population of 1.3 billion people, COVID19 has been particularly brutal to the migrant workers. With a Google search of 13.60 crores, "COVID19 and Migrant Workers" has become one of the most important topics in the digital space which needs examination.

Thus, the present exploratory research based on secondary data was done to explore the intricate details linked with the psychosocial impact of migrant workers during the COVID crisis suggesting a need of social support system for migrant workers during such events.
