Abstract

Like anywhere else in India, Migration over past several decades from ISD have occurred for better livelihood opportunities and earning better income, acquiring higher education or skills.Such migration can be seen as seasonal in nature (CRS, 2010; CSE, 2012). But over the years, studies in Indian Bengal Delta are largely concentrating on migration resulting from natural disasters like cyclones, storm surges, erosion of land, breaching of embankments or submergence of islands. (Hazra Sugata et.al., 2002; CRS, 2010; CSE, 2012; Bera M., 2013; Ghosh A.K., 2014; GhoshTuhin, et.al., 2014; Mukherjee, 2014)
