Abstract

The study was carried out in the Bidar district of Kalyana Karnataka where a people's migration is big. Three talukas were chosen based on the highest labour force from the district. In specific, they were Bidar, Bhalki, and Basavakalyan. In random selection, four villages from each taluka were selected. The primary data was taken via the personal interview process from a total of 240 samples randomly from every taluka for the experiment, with 80 samples. The current study was an attempt to obtain the different motives for the migration of farm labourers from the district of Bidar and to create the correct models for migration data. Tabular research was led in the sample villages of Bidar district for the specific characteristics of migrants and non-migrants. The tabular research found that about 50 percent of people from all talukas migrate from sample households. The tabular analysis exposed that 44 per cent of individual migration compared to the entire family migration and individuals belonging to the 15 – 30-year age group migrate more. Research also found that agricultural labourers in the villages are fleeing because of underemployment and unemployment. Agricultural families are not successful, so many leave with smaller land holdings for better opportunities. Also, the current study attempted to know the nature and magnitude of the association between the agricultural labourers migration in the bidar district and their socioeconomic characteristics. Results of the correlation coefficients of migration over other variables viz. land holding, family size, education, income including migrants income (IMI), and income excluding migrants income (EMI) revealed a significant relationship among land holding and migration. Along with family net income and relocation, the important relationship still occurred. Even between migration and family size.
