This project is funded by the South Asia Network of Economic Research Institutes (SANEI). In this project, the team is studying whether it is the pull factors such as job opportunities in cities, or, the push factors such as the non-existence of non-farm employment in rural areas, that is driving rural-urban migration in India’s cities, taking the case of Bangalore. A primary survey of 600 migrants (300 skilled and 300 unskilled) and 200 non-migrants (out of which 100 are skilled and the remaining 100 are unskilled) in Bangalore has been completed. The team prepared the draft report which was presented in a seminar at PAC in May. Subsequently the comments from the seminar were incorporated and the revised draft report was submitted to SANEI in May 2009. The team is awaiting comments from the Research Advisory Panel of SANEI and information regarding SANEI’s tenth annual conference where this is to be presented. SANEI’s website (http://www.saneinetwork.net) says that the tenth annual conference will be held in Dhaka during March 30-31, 2010 in Dhaka.
