Thread: Migration in India

A country India has seen a high migration rate in recent years. Since independence as per the 2001 census details, over 98 million people migrated from one place to another in the year of 1990. In the year 1970, migration rate went down and again during 1991-2001 increased by 22%.

Indian migration rate is running in -0.05 as per 2011 census. Which means only 0.05 migrants per 1000 population. This migration rate is increasing day by day as population increases. The number of Indian migrate to other country are increasing due to several reasons such as shifting businesses and study purposes.

Since the 1830s, international migration from India under British rule comprised largely of unskilled workers from poorer socio-economic groups who went to other colonized countries. Between 1834 and 1937, nearly 30 million people left India and nearly 4/5th returned back to India.
