N2  - The implications of migration are complex in nature and affect the economic growth of the region wherein it exists. India has witnessed more than three-fold increase in the levels of mobility from 1950 to 2011. Considering the long history of migration from Bihar, this study was conducted to examine factors influencing migration and its implication on the socio-economic status of the migrants in Bihar. Migration has resulted in several changes in the migrant households. It was found that the role of women in decision making related to various farming activities was more in case of migrant households. Migration has also resulted in diversification of the food basket.
