Migration is a global phenomena. Although the United Nations estimates that only 2% of the world’s population are migrants. It is accelerating, diversifying and politicised force which helps the people to move. Migration is the process of movement from one place, region, state or country to another, they clearly make demographic and socio-economic effects on the donor and recipient population. Migration is the major factor that brings drastic changes in the society. Not much work is done to examine the consequences of migration in Punjab, policy makers and academicians have casual notions about this process. Without any authentic, accurate and reliable study, there is general conception about the migration that enriches the specific society. Migration is a form of spatial mobility of population between one geographical unit to another involving a permanent change of residence. If a person was born at a place other than the place of enumeration then he is treated as migrant. Of the three components of population change, migration holds the place of prominence. Migration cannot be considered as a mere shift of people from one place of residence to another, as it is most fundamental to the understanding of continuously changing space-content and space relationship of area (Gosal,1961)
