All the segments of the society are participating in out-migration in Sitamarhi district. It appears higher among those associated with agriculture, with small or marginal landholdings. The workforce data suggests that migration process is generating a diverse livelihood portfolio at the area of origin, particularly among the agricultural household. Again, the data shows that, the household, which are still maintaining a joint family setup are able to diversify their livelihood portfolio though taking up different activities together. Land continues to be the most important assets in the study area where income and employment opportunities are dependent to a great extent on the possession of land and its characteristics.
