Migration is encrypted with our DNA, we are migrants by nature. If pollen migrates from even continent to continent, it’s quite natural human being would migrate from place to place, occupation to occupation and rural to urban ecology. The book empirically tested the nature, cause and impacts of migration in a typical CDR, complex-diverse-risk prone, ecosystem of Purulia district of West Bengal. In a typical rain fed farm ecology, where uncertainty in all terms reigns, migration has become systemic with life and livelihood. Rural people have been migrating since they are reeling under abject poverty, which is attributed to less crop yield, uncertain weather, fragile market support and livelihood. To avert stresses and risks, most of them find migration as a better option. They migrate to adjoining districts, other states and to far way destinations as well. The geo-economic trajectories along with social dynamics, migration here in this book imbibes and anchors methodological innovation and hard evidences to draw upon the attention of the global audiences.
