a) National refugee crisis. The recent drought of Maharasthra
 triggered a national awareness. There was a huge outflux of
the rural population affected by this famine into the cities.
Given their limited education, their limited city experience
and language barriers, it has been a social crisis for these
IDPs. There seen as a different sect in the society receiving
different treatments which they clearly don’t deserve. If
you were to create an NGO to support their cause, what
would your marketing pivot be. Do you think the refugees
pose difficulties in the Urban Socieities with their
behaviors and trends.
b) International Refugee Crisis. The political agenda of the
elected President of USA, is an impression of complete
ignorance of the statiscal numbers and figures relating to
the Mexican Refugees in the country. Where the refugee
population is known to contribute to 5.6% of the
agricultural labour force, and is known to send cash back
homes valuing to $24.8 Billion, do you think that the

How would you do things differently in the same situation.
