Abstract

This paper is an attempt to understand the emerging tribal migration patterns in five districts of Chhattisgarh and its impact on our society, culture, economic development and education. In this context, the present paper attempts to examine and it helps us to understand the current migration trend. Majority of the tribals migrate to others states due to better job opportunities, higher wages and good payment systems. The study found that economic and social factors significantly influence tribal migration. The elaboration of both primary and secondary data on tribal people migration helps us to understand the dynamics of present day mobility of tribals in Chhattisgarh.
