摘要

Gulf migration is leading by North India especially in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Rajasthan. These states are well known for internal migration from rural areas to urban centres of India but recently, international migration is also emerging as a key of livelihood for labourers of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Rajasthan, those who are already involved in the internal migration. Gulf migration is a new phenomenon in these states while internal migration is associated with a major source of livelihood for huge labour force of these states. These perspectives give an answer of unfolding facts about the nature that causes the process of labour emigration from North India to the Gulf countries. The structure of this chapter explored the process and determinants of migration on the basis of collected information among returned migrant labourers in North India. The findings of the study show that there is a well-developed culture of internal and international migration from North India to Mumbai and Gulf countries and these consequences are creating socio-economic and cultural transformation among Muslims due to the implementation of Zakat-based economy among Muslims in rural North India. These consequences are creating socio-economic and cultural challenges in rural North India. These outcomes resulted in a micro-driven economy in rural North India due to the socio-economic and cultural changes in the development strategies adopted by migrant families, while also generating socio-economic and cultural challenges in the region. Consequently, it is advisable for the Indian government to establish a system that effectively oversees the inflow and use of economic and social remittances in rural North India, as well as to implement a well-being strategy aimed at enhancing the micro economy through remittances. Additionally, the state government of North India should provide training for migrant workers in collaboration with the overseas employment division of the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, to promote and track the remittances-based economy among unskilled and semi-skilled migrant workers, ensuring the effective use of remittances in the households’ micro economy and India’s macro economy. Therefore, the findings of the study are needful for developing an understanding of Gulf migration in rural North India as well as encouraging academicians, researchers, and policymakers for further research in the area of migration.
