Abstract

With globalization becoming an integral part of our lives mobility has gradually become an inherent part of human existence. The desires and aspirations of an individual with the anticipation of a better and brighter future compel him to break away the traditional bonds and move ahead in life. For this purpose at times he needs to pace over long geographical distances either temporarily or permanently. Thus the process of migration is basically triggered by individual interests. In today’s world the decision to migrate is shaped by a number of factors related to economic, political, and religious differences, life threat, and various ethnic and socio-cultural issues. Migration is influenced by a number of factors like level of Per Capita Income, level of road infrastructure, unemployment rate and cost of living. According to the general surveys the variables like crime rate, have been found insignificant as a determinant of migration, which signifies that people migrating from one state to other are usually not concern about risk of life, they are rather concerned about basic needs of life. Thus there seems to be no need to show concern over the issue especially in case of India.
