ABSTRACT
For the first time since independence, the absolute increase in population is more in urban areas than in rural areas as per census 2011 which indicates that the extent of migration from rural area has been increasing. In Gujarat, migration is not a new phenomenon. It has been observed since long in the tribal populated districts viz. Dangs, Tapi, Narmada, Dahod and Valsad where more than 50 percent of the population is tribal. The present study was carried out in two purposively Talukas (blocks) of Dahod district of Gujarat state of India. The study revealed that Selected Availability of diverse work opportunitiesis the first and most significant pull factor with maximum percentage which motivates the tribal families to migrate followed by low wages in tribal area (95.00 per cent), poor economic condition (81.66 per cent) and lack of basic amenities (54.16 per cent)and on other hand lack of employment opportunities in tribal area is most significant push factor responsible for tribal migration followed by more income than MANREGA (64.16 per cent).
