Description
Delhi, which is bursting at the seams, its next door Gurugram and Gautam Buddh Nagar, of which Noida and Greater Noida are part, have received the maximum influx of migrants between 2001 and 2011, according to the economic survey report released last week. They have topped the list of 22 high mobility districts in India. During this period, Delhi has seen a large number of migrants coming from eight states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand, an indication that better economic opportunity continues to be a major pull despite infrastructure constraint plaguing the city. It’s not only the Capital, the National Capital Region (NCR) has also become a popular destination for migrants. Based on the analysis of Census 2011 data on migration, the survey found a 29% jump in Gurugram’s in-migrant population between 2001 and 2011. Among the 26 states, Delhi is closely followed by Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu as a top destination for migrants. “The trend does not come as a surprise. These places have attracted large number of migrants historically because of availability of job opportunities,” said Professor S Chandrasekhar of Mumbai’s Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research. But experts caution the trend reflects more than ever the thrust city government and policy makers need to give to regions, including Delhi, that have seen large in-migration.
