Abstract
Migration has increasingly become a global phenomenon. The study is mainly based on the issues faced by migrated tribes residing in the village of Krushnanagar. The study revealed that factors such as limited agricultural productivity, lack of employment opportunities, and environmental changes have remarkably influenced their pattern of migration. They are no longer attached to their own culture but a complete livelihood transformation occurred along with the struggle for cultural survival. The study area is around the periphery of Bhubaneswar. The demographic data shows us the dominance of the female population. This is an exploratory study. Information was collected through primary sources through discussion with the village people as well as followed by some secondary methods from various works of literature, study, articles, and news, etc. for comparison. However, addressing issues arising from migration requires targeted interventions, such as improved infrastructure, sustainable livelihood programmes, and government support for preserving their cultural heritage.
