National Migration Study (India)

The National Migration Study in India is a comprehensive research initiative aimed at understanding patterns and trends in migration across the country. Conducted by the Ministry of Home Affairs, it focuses on internal migration, examining reasons for moving, economic impacts, and social consequences. The study collects data on various demographics, such as age, gender, and education, to paint a clearer picture of how and why people move within India. This information is crucial for policymakers to address challenges related to urbanization, labor markets, and social integration, ultimately aiding in better governance and resource allocation.
