Almost 50 per cent men in India migrated from their hometowns to other places in search of employment within the country during 2020-21.

    NSSO carried out the Multiple Indicator Survey covering the entire country in its 78th round. The survey was initially planned to be conducted during January-December, 2020 but the field work was extended till August 15, 2021, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    The entire country was covered by the survey, barring some villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands which were difficult to access.
