Migration has both positive and negative consequences whether it is internal or international. What is the significance of India’s internal migration to its economy? What are the challenges to India’s national security caused by migration? The primary objective of this paper is to understand the challenges faced by the migrants and the implications of migration in India. The paper takes the state of Kerala for a case study and analyses their different policies and approaches to migration within the state. The nature of migration and the reasons for such migration along with the question of whether the existing policies are adequate enough to address the growing problem of exploitation of migrants in India are looked into. A more holistic approach to migration and its challenges have also been addressed in detail. Revision of policy frameworks in order to minimise the negative aspects of migration is also addressed in brief. The paper draws from primary and secondary sources for its analysis.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords/> <URLs> <Abstract>https://www.ejsss.net.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=14623&title=Internal Migration in India</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>Abbas, R.
