Abstract: This paper discussed about migration labourers victimized in HIV/AIDS in Gajapati district. Migration for variety of reasons is age old practice but it is increasing at a faster pace over last decades. India as a national has seen a high migration rate in recent years. More than 30 million people in India are seasonal migrant labourers. Odisha share is 2.5 million and considered a key state for supply of migrant labourer. Mostly in the Gajapati district peoples are migration to Surat, Arunchal Pradesh, Gujurat, Kerala and Andra Pradesh. Basically, from rural area peoples are highly migrations to urban areas. People of a particular area tend to move from one place to another place with a scope of earning and better standard of living. This particular drift is primarily driven by the socio-cultural, political and environmental factors. India is growing rapidly with a huge investment plans and policy implications. Serious efforts are being made in India to stem the tide of the AIDS epidemic. A long-standing area of concern has been the transmission of HIV to married women in rural districts which constitute source areas for employment and out-migration of men. Some micro-level studies have shown that married women were infected by their husbands who were predominantly migrant workers and also indicated that high male out-migration leads to the development of local sexual networks in the source districts that facilitate the spread of HIV.
