Labour being the most important factor of production , it would be ideal if new ways of farming used much more labours infortunately such a thing has not happened. The use of labour on farms is limited. The labour, looking for opportunities is thus migrating to neighbouring villages different towns, cities, states as well. Some labourers have entered the non farm sectors .

By the nature of the origin of migration and destination of migration, the nature of the human resource can be derived. In this case, the rural labour force has migrated to another rural area. They are unskilled or semi skilled labourers who migrate for jobs. They would find jobs that do not need much of skills, like masonry, pulling rickshaw, selling vegetables etc.
