Abstract

These days migration of immigrants to big metropolitan cities has become a common phenomenon. This happens due to them having the hope that this causes them to have a better lifestyle and will help them be more successful. People in rural areas have the idea that to be successful, moving to an urban city is the key and while this may be some what true it also comes with its own struggles and difficulties due to mass competition and work load. This study has been done to find out the cause and impact that rural migration has on an urban area specifically Delhi.
