Abstract:
Migration is defined as movement of people, either within a country or across international borders. It includes all kinds of movements, irrespective of the drivers, duration and voluntary/involuntary nature. It encompasses economic migrants, distress migrants, internally displaced persons (IDPs,) refugees and asylum seekers, returnees and people moving for other purposes, including for education and family reunification. It severely impacts social, economic, cultural and psychological life of people both at the place of in-migration and out-migration. In India, the migration of farming community is mostly influenced by social structures and overall pattern of development. Thus keeping the above mentioned agrarian distress, the paper focuses on different dimension of migration of farming community as a adaptive and coping mechanism from climate change.
