Abstract :

The present study aims to analyse the interstate variations in the volume of rural outmigration and levels of deprivation and to examine the causal relationship between rural out-migration and selected socio-economic variables of deprivation among the states and union territories (UTs) of India. The entire research work is based on secondary sources of data, collected from the office of the Registrar General of India, State Primary Census Abstract, 2001, SRS Bulletins of 2008 and Planning Commission of India, 2004- 05. The boundary of a state/union territory has been taken as the smallest unit of study.
