Rajesh Das, Dr. Snehamanju Basu

Abstract :

 India is a big country with the tag of larger contributor of labour force     to the international community characterized by highly skilled technician to illiterate workers. Although international migration has an old age history in India but after 1990 due to liberal policies of the governments at international level due to effect of industrialization and globalization a large current of international migration started to developed nations and Gulf countries. However, change in lifestyle, consumption behaviour and desire to leave a good life was among the major causes for such migration. According to information available from Ministry of Overseas Affairs, Government of India. Tamilnadu has the highest number of international migration followed by Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and so on. Thus, south India has maximum number of International Migrants as workforce. However, Goa has the minimum number of International migrant in terms of labour workforce followed by Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and so on. There is no doubt that migration of labourer to foreign soils improve their economic condition and status which impacts  can be observed in form of  sound Bank Deposits, Construction of houses, better education to the children and better health facilities to their family members but on the contrary there are also some negative aspects which include stress, family problems, loneliness, threat of life in some countries where race problem exists, problem arising out of terrorism for which in recent times many Indian bound to return their home etc. thus, we can say that in spite of better opportunities an international migration to some countries is a serious concern.
