Item description from seller

"About The Book:- This book examines the demographic, social and economic aspects, patterns and consequences of seasonal migration in one of Odisha’s historically migration-prone regions. The book analyses seasonal migration as a livelihood strategy among migrant rural households, with particular emphasis on socio-economic conditions, landholding, employment opportunities, caste and migration destinations, and occupational diversification. Drawing on extensive field-based research, the book explores why households undertake seasonal migration, how migration is organised, and how it influences income, livelihoods, household well-being and affect food security. It also critically examines whether seasonal migration provide a sustainable livelihood opportunity or primarily represents a coping and survival strategy for economically vulnerable households. The book offers a geographical perspective on migration, rural livelihoods and socio-economic transformation in Kalahandi district, and provides useful insights for researchers, students, teachers, policymakers and others interested in migration and development studies. About The Author:- Dr. Bisworanjan Behuria has completed his Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree and Masters of Philosophy in Geography from Ravenshaw University Cuttack/Kataka. He was awarded doctorate degree in 2023 from North Eastern Hill University, Shillong Campus, Meghalaya.
