Most villages in Uttarakhand suffer from migration. Villages that are not well connected with local towns have borne the brunt of migration to an extent that life there has become unsustainable. A large number of factors have contributed to this and these have been documented by government agencies and sociologists. So, this article does not seek to go into the possible reasons of migration but draws from actual case studies.

Those working outside would also keep visiting the village on major festivals and family/ village events. [to be expanded]
