Abstract

Migration in Haryana is moderate in comparison to the scenario at all India level, with only 8 out of 1000 households reporting migration activity in 2009-10 as against 19 at India level. Haryana has a significantly higher migration in urban areas in comparison to rural areas, which is similar to the trend observed at a national level. Within urban areas, Gurgaon, Manesar and Faridabad have emerged as industrial agglomerate over the years and have been a historical destination for in-ward migration both within state and from other states.
