Thus, people get insisted to migrate different places to earn and remit to support their households. The scope of this study is confined only to out-migrants from Odisha placed temporarily in other states of India.  The Objectives of this Study are to sketch the broad demography of out-migrants from Odisha and unfold the reality of economic participation of such migrants in their household management.
