Abstract

India is a country of multi-dimension whose economy is based on agriculture to support the 58.5 per cent people of the country and share the 17.14 per cent in the India’s GDP (World Bank report, 2014-15). 68.31 per cent people of the country are the rural resident to earn their livelihood from agriculture. But with growing population and meager amount of money raise the problem of migration, the movement of people from one area to another in search of jobs and employment from rural to urban areas. The process of migration is dependent on the amount of the availability of the job opportunity to pull the people from the rural areas. Out migration is more pronounced in rural areas for the young people in search of jobs in urban areas or metropolitan cities of the country.
