people is moving out of their villages and reaching nearby or remote destinations in search of gainful work Migration is a typical phenomenon. The phenomenon of
out – migration from villages is commonly observed though available data and information are too scanty and sketch to present in this report. Development of
agriculture and animal husbandry is so backward as to compel farmers – even small and marginal farmers or even agricultural laborers in times failure of monsoon
and the resultant drought conditions to leave their villages and migrate to out side places in search of jobs. There are hardly any employment opportunities in farm,
non – farm and service sectors to any considerable extend in the district both during agricultural season as well as off-season. There are also a fair number of
persons who migrate into this district in search of jobs and labour (skilled or unskilled) work. People migrate during summer season to different parts of the state
like Rajkot, Junagadh and Jamnagar for agricultural labour work, same as for Surat, Navsari, Kheda, Ahmedabad as daily wagers and Diamond workers. For better
scope and standard of living; some people permanently migrate to taluka or district place also.
