Abstract

Migration has been an integral component of human civilization, continuously influencing socio-cultural and economic structures. In contemporary India, internal migration has taken on an ever more significant role due to multiple factors such as economic opportunities, urbanization, environmental challenges, and evolving social dynamics. According to the Census of India (2011), nearly 450 million people were classified as migrants—amounting to approximately 37% of the overall population. This statistic not only underscores the prevalence of migration in India but also highlights the magnitude of its impact on various segments of society, including the educational sector.
