Abstract

Migration may be described as movement of people between regions or countries. Immigration and emigration are usually reserved for migration into and out of countries. It may be temporary, with the intention of returning in future, or permanent; or may not have decided between these alternatives at the time of migration. It is affected by push and pull factors. Bilaspur District in Himachal Pradesh lies in foothills of Shivalik Mountains. It is worse affected by large scale economic activities like Construction of Large Dam and submergence of large fertile area in the Govind Sagar Lake, establishment of large industry i.e. Gagal Cement Plant, Construction of National and state Highways and every increasing urbanisation. As a result many families got uprooted and thus migrated to other places permanently. So to study the characteristics of Migrant and Migrant Families was conducted through a comprehensive survey of 270 Families. It was observed that some significance differences were found in socio-economic characteristics of Migrant and Non-Migrant Households.
