| Research Abstract |
This study focuses on the current changes of intra-state migration from rural areas and the impact of following remittances to rural households by economic and social strata, particularly focusing on SCs (Scheduled Castes), during the growth period, by analyzing household data provided by National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO). In the 1993, the average per capita consumption expenditure (MPCE) levels of households which receive remittances from out-migrant to within India were much lower than non-migrant households. Conversely, in 2007-08, at the point of highest growth on Indian economy ever, there has been the evidence that remittances by out-migrants improved economic conditions of poorer households, since the levels of MPCE of out-migrant households with remittances are significantly higher than those of non-out-migrant households for all-India social classes, but notably for the discriminated Dalits in Bihar, the least economically developed state. It could be concluded that increased remittances following out-migration by social backwards could be a means of possible empowerment for the discriminated poor.
