Dr. Hrudanand Misra

Abstract :

 

Migration is as old as human history. The massive movement of population of the modern times has wider social, economic, political, demographic and ecological implications. Migration process has been analysed by a number of ways. Generally it means the settlement or shifting of an individual or a group of individuals from one area i.e. origin to another area i.e. destination. A large proportion of the labour employed at Alang ship eaking yard are migrants from other states. They are largely from backward states of U.P, Bihar, Orissa and Jharkhand. Only a small fraction around 5–10 percent originates from Gujarat state. The large influx of migrants can be explained through the push–pull factors put forward by sociologists, economists and geographers. It is observed that the migrants originate from the most backward districts of these states.
