and towns for education and job opportunities—private/government/daily wages.
They migrate mostly to Bangalore, Hosakote, Malur, and Vagata. The migration
level of villagers in Govindapura is high; 40 % of the people are dependent on
agriculture with most of them going out to work, and the same is the case with
Govindapura colony where scheduled caste people reside. Most of them are
landless and as there is an easy access to Malur, they migrate daily in search of
wage employment.
According to the villagers, 3–6 households from each village migrate permanently. This is due to changes in the occupational pattern, while in-migration of 20–
25 HH has been observed in Jadigenahalli and Haralur due to the presence of five
factories in the region. People have immigrated from different states like Rajasthan,
northeastern India in search of employment over the past 5–6 years.
