\nAnswer:
\nThis pie chart is about the social background of short term migrants in India, 2007-08. It gives category wise information of SC, ST, OBC and Others. On the overall observation, it is clearly understood that major number is from OBCs and others are less in percentage.<\/p>\n Normally in population, the number of people from other backward classes is more. It is also observed in rural areas. People belong to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes have very less land and in some cases they have no lands. Recently the trend is changing. Due to some welfare schemes, they are also leading a better life. The percentage of others is also nearly equal to the scheduled castes. Their migration purpose may be different. Many of these migrants work in unorganized sector like, construction work, brick industries, selling plastic goods and vegetables or in casual work.<\/p>\n The government should take care of these migrants and think why these people are migrating from their places. If possible rural prosperity is to be focused. Public facilities are to be provided at the rural areas and so this migration can be stopped or decreased.<\/p>\n Question 5.
\nRead the given paragraph and interpret.<\/p>\n Labour being the most abundant factor of production, it would be ideal if the new ways of farming used much more labour. Unfortunately, such a thing has not happened. The use of labour on farms is limited. The labour, looking for opportunities is thus migrating to neighbouring villages, towns and cities. Some labour has entered the nonfarm sector in the village.<\/em><\/p>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- Labour means people who do the work either highly trained and educated or who can do manual work.<\/li>\n
- Each worker is providing necessary labour for production.<\/li>\n
- Skilled or semi-skilled or unskilled labour – all are providing labour for production.<\/li>\n
- Thus labour is an essential item in production.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Conclusion : If government provide loans to landless labour for Agriculture purpose, motor pump sets, engines, etc. more labour we will find in agricultural sector.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Question 6.
\nWrite down the advantages and disadvantages of the people when they migrate.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- Urban migrants have plenty of opportunities for education and acquire new skills and take us new jobs effectively.<\/li>\n
- Thus they earn more incomes.<\/li>\n
- Remittances are an important means of supplementing or generating additional income for rural families.<\/li>\n
- Migration allows households to meet debt and other obligations without having to sell assets.<\/li>\n
- Migrant families buy house, land, gold, agricultural machinery and consumer durables.<\/li>\n

\nTable Analysis:
\nAccording to 1991 & 2001 census,<\/p>\n \n- The total population in 1991 was 838.5 million excluding J & K. At the same time in 2001 it was 1028.6 million including J&K. There was a variation of 21.5% growth in the population.<\/li>\n
- Total migrated people in 1991 were 229.8 million and they were in 2001, 307.1 million. There was 32.9% variation from 1991 to 2001.<\/li>\n
- Migrants from within the districts in 1991 were 136.2 million and in 2001 were 181.7 million. The variation is 32.6%.<\/li>\n
- Migrants from other districts of the state in 1991 were only 59.1 million and in 2001 were 76.8 million. The variation is 29.5%.<\/li>\n
- In 1991 migrants from other states in India were 27.2 million and in 2001 they were 42.3 million. The variation is 54.5%.<\/li>\n
- Migrants from other countries were 6.9 million in 1991. This number reduced to 6.1 million in 2001. Hence, the variation is (-) 11.6%.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
From the above information, it is evident that the total migrations increased from 1991 to 2001. Migrants within the district and migrants from other districts of the state increased. Because of employment, facilities and education also increased.
\nSome areas are not developed, that’s why people are migrating from one place to other places.<\/p>\n Conclusion: Finally from the above information we understand that migrants from other countries to India decreased. So we understand that foreigners are not preferring to migrate India because of lack of resources and employment and low paid salaries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Question 8.
\nRead the following paragraph and answer the following question.<\/p>\n The men drive the carts to the factory where they might have to wait in queue for several hours before they get to offload the cane. The women, meanwhile, walk several kilometres back to the settlement. They have to fight exhaustion all the time.<\/em><\/p>\nHow far is the household work done by the women in these circumstances justified?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- Both men and women work in the sugarcane fields.<\/li>\n
- The cane piles are tied into bundles, carried on the head by men and women.<\/li>\n
- Men drive the carts to the factories.<\/li>\n
- After doing heavy work on cane fields, women walk several kilometres back to the settlement.<\/li>\n
- Then they have to perform household work.<\/li>\n
- They have to fight exhaustion all the time.<\/li>\n
- But the wage paid to the women is less when compared to the men.<\/li>\n
- Hence we can conclude this discrimination is not justified on any grounds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

They could be working as hawkers, painters, repair persons, rickshaw pullers, construction labour, etc.<\/em><\/p>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- According to the paragraph the people migrate to urban areas as there is no sufficient work in rural areas.<\/li>\n
- They expect high income from urban areas but they settle in unorganized sector.<\/li>\n
- They also have no job security and they face many problems.<\/li>\n
- My opinion is that nowadays every individual want high income for their families.<\/li>\n
- The people are ready to go anywhere for that.<\/li>\n
- They are forcibly settling in the unorganized sector.<\/li>\n
- Some of them don’t find even daily wages.<\/li>\n
- In conclusion I suggest the government to take care of these labourers of the unorganized sector and launch new schemes for these migrants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
A large section of rural workers migrate for a short duration and particularly due to distress caused in rural areas. They are mainly agricultural labourers or marginal farmers in their place of origin and mostly belong to low Income households, dalits and adivasis.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Question 10.
\nRead the following paragraph and write your opinion on it.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- As per the paragraph given, it is understood that most of the labourers migrating from rural areas to urban areas are from marginalized families.<\/li>\n
- Their income is low and they are SCs and STs.<\/li>\n
- They come to cities and towns in distress.<\/li>\n
- My opinion is that most of the dalits and adivasis have no agricultural lands. They are agricul\u00actural labourers working in others fields.<\/li>\n
- When they find no work in some peculiar seasons they migrate to urban areas.<\/li>\n
- Especially the adivasis are still leading their lives based on the forest produce.<\/li>\n
- I suggest the government to take up new initiatives for the sake of these low-income groups. MNREGA programmes should be launched in needy areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Question 11.
\nRead the following paragraph and write your comments.<\/p>\n Construction sites in most urban areas depend on migrant workers. It is also common to see migrants selling plastic goods, vegetables, and engage in other petty businesses and casual labour. A large section of such migrants are from tribal communities and from drought-prone areas of the state. Seasonal migrants are not only poor but have little or no land at their native place.<\/em><\/p>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- The given paragraph says that different activities in urban areas depend on migrant workers.<\/li>\n
- Drought is also one of the reasons for migration. Many of the migrants are from tribal communities. They have no lands and so they are very poor.<\/li>\n
- My comments on this paragraph are that it is true the many of the migrants are working on construction sites and they are in the unorganized sector.<\/li>\n
- They don’t find work on all the days.<\/li>\n
- When there is a work they get wages. Many a time they spend their time waiting for work.<\/li>\n
- I conclude by saying these unorganized sector people are to be identified.<\/li>\n
- Special schemes are to be designed and launched. They should be provided with work but not simply financial help.<\/li>\n
- Banks should provide loans without collateral and so they can survive for themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
