Summary: Contrary to the conventional Migra tion Theories in India that the Migra tion process continues and will continue unceasingly from backward zones to developed zones, the author questions its universal applicability. Based on village(s) study with exten sive historical evidences drawn on 19th century and prevailing Agrarian structure and Migration from Ganjam District of Orissa State, the author emphasises that our-Migration from rural areas is the product of agrarian capitalism and class formation. According to him out-Migration from rural areas is historically and structurally conditioned. The findings of the study reveal that the incidence of Migration is comparatively more in a capitalist agrarian structure than that of a feudal or semi-feudal one. The capitalist agriculture accompani ed by several structural elements has expelled a large number of peasants and labourers to far off employment resourceful areas. The Migration pro cess gets accelerated by the inbuilt strong network of primordial loyalities both at the place of Origin and desti nation. The author has avidly analys ed, the consequences and impact of Migration on local economy and social life.
