Abstract

Temporary migration is often used interchangeably with circular, seasonal, short-term, and spontaneous migration. The data (NSSO and Census) reveals that there is an upward trend in migration because of employment opportunities. Seasonal migration is a routine phenomenon for people in the five districts of the arid Marathwada region of the Maharashtra—Beed, Jalgaon, Ahmednagar, Nasik, and Jalna. Analysis of more than 95000 respondents reveals that more than 75% of migrants belong to five castes—Vanjari (28.49%), Maratha (20.34%), Banjara (13.0%), Bhill (8.55%), and Dhangar (6.92%). This paper attempts to map the migration process in the state and seeks to throw light on the preferred destination of the migrants originating from a particular district belonging to a specific caste.
