Migration is not just by the very poor during times of crisis for survival and coping but has increasingly become an accumulative option for the poor and non-poor alike. This paper shows why some groups of people have succeeded in entering accumulative migration pathways while others have been excluded. A social exclusion and livelihoods approach that moves beyond neo-classical economics and structuralist theories is adopted. This helps us to understand that migration patterns are determined by people’s access to resources, the (institutional, market, policy) environment, intra-household relations, wider social relations, and not just the productivity and demand for labour in an area. In Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Madhya Pradesh (MP), important factors have been the historical development of different regions, interlocked markets for credit, output and labour, marketable traditional skills, other livelihood options that are complementary to migration, the availability of surplus labour within the household, cultural norms regarding the sexual division of labour, as well as decisions related to children’s education. Caste emerges as an important determinant of who is excluded from positive migration streams.1 This is because of the strong correlation between belonging to a Scheduled Caste and being poor, illiterate and assetless as well as being discriminated against by employers and contractors. Contrary to received wisdom, the cases presented here show that people from poor areas can be on positive migration pathways and people from well-endowed areas can be on coping migration pathways. Indeed, one person’s coping strategy is often another person’s accumulation strategy. Thus we find that migrant sugarcane cutters, earthworkers and agricultural labourers from remote and poor villages of AP and MP have improved their standard of living significantly and are investing their savings in agriculture and educating their children. On the other hand, some migrants from the prosperous canal-irrigated coastal areas migrate for coping purposes. And what of social policy? Although millions of poor labourers are in circulation for the best part of the year, policy continues to be ill-equipped to deal with this phenomenon, with the result that, outside their home areas, migrants have no entitlements to livelihood support systems or formal welfare schemes. Neither are they paid a full wage, because contractors deduct a part of that too. The additional burden posed by a lack of access to basic facilities is borne mainly by women and children. We conclude by identifying ways in which policy can enhance the positive outcomes of more accumulative migration and also provide support to reduce vulnerability in the case of the poor who migrate to survive. 1 We define a migration stream as a specific combination of caste, origin, destination and type of work at the destination. Therefore, a change in any of these four factors would make a different migration stream. vi 1 1 Introduction Seasonal and circular (also known as cyclical, oscillatory) migration, has long been part of the livelihood portfolio of poor people across India (see for example Usha Rao’s 1994 study of Palamur labour in Andhra Pradesh, de Haan’s (2002) historical study of migration in Western Bihar, or Srivastava and Ali’s 1981 study of labourers from Bundelkhand). It is now recognised that migration is a part of the normal livelihood strategy of the poor (Mc Dowell and De Haan, 1997) and does not occur only during times of emergency or distress. Although panel data on seasonal migration in India are lacking, a growing number of micro-studies have established that seasonal migration for employment is growing both in terms of absolute numbers but also in relation to the size of the working population as a whole (Breman, 1985; Breman, 1996; Rao, 1994; Rogaly et al, 2001). The National Commission on Rural Labour (NCRL) puts the number of circular migrants in rural areas alone at around 10 million (including roughly 4.5 million inter-State migrants and 6 million intra-State migrants). But the departments of rural development, agriculture and labour are not geared to dealing with migrants and just regard them as external to the systems that they work with. According to the NCRL, the majority of seasonal migrants are employed in cultivation and plantations, brick-kilns, quarries, construction sites and fish processing. Further, large numbers of seasonal migrants work in urban informal manufacturing, construction, services or transport sectors, employed as casual labourers, head-loaders, rickshaw pullers and hawkers (Dev, 2002). However, official awareness of the magnitude of seasonal migration or the importance of it in the lives of the poor is abysmally low. Policy-makers have tended to perceive migration largely as a problem, posing a threat to social and economic stability and have therefore tried to control it, rather than viewing it as an important livelihood option for the poor.

Mannepalli Faculty Member, Dept. of History & Archaeology, Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA. I. Introduction: As for as the economic potentiality of the Krishna Valley consisting of a large number of sites presenting a well progress agriculture serves as a clear background of the corresponding progress of arts and crafts, leading to overseas trade and commerce. It is somewhat clear that the archaeology of the Andhra Pradesh and the rest of the South India falls roughly into two main stages. The first one which closed about 1000 B.C. was Neolithic- Chalcolithic which witnessed the building up of an effective rural-agricultural base. During the second phase, beginning from about 1000 B.C. this rural agricultural base was strengthened and further activised by the use of iron, without however suffering any break in continuity in so far as rural agriculture was concerned. But the very extensive use of iron may have brought about certain socio-economic changes as well which ante-dated the growth of urban centres. We do not have much evidence in this regard, but the transformation from hoe to regular plough cultivation in the fertile valleys of the Godavari and the Krishna may be regarded as one of the main important items in this change.

Yet, she is significant to notice that women even though barely own a not recognized as a farmer as being a farmer is national average of only 12% of operational land holding synonymous to owning agricultural land. The land have over the years been extensively involved in different ownership statistics are obscure for women with only 12% kinds of farming operations such as the production of of the operational land holding in India and 15% in the state major grains and millers, land preparation, seed selection, of Maharashtra in particular.

  • Medak District
    MEDAK DISTRICT We acknowledge the content from https://medak.telangana.gov.in/ The district derived its name from Medak, the then headquarters town of taluk of the same name. Medak was originally known as Methukudurgam which subsequently changed into Methuku due to the growth of fine and coarse rice in this area. Medak district became part of the Kakatiya Kingdom to the Bahmani Kingdom and later the Golconda Kingdom. Finally, on the fall of the Qutubshahi dynasty, it was annexed to the Mughal Empire. During the formation of Hyderabad State by Asif Jahi, this district was detached and included in the Nizam‟s Dominions. It finally became a part of Andhra Pradesh with effect from 1st November 1956 under the scheme of Re-organisation of States. The early history of Medak district is not very clear. Its political history, however, commences with the advent of the Mouryas who extended their sway to the south during the reign of Asoka. After the Mouryas, the Satavahanas gained prominence over the Deccan of which, Medak district formed a part. Several coins of the Satavahana rulers like Goutamiputra Satakarni, Vasishtiputra Pulumavi, Siv Sri, Yagna Sri Satakarni, etc., were unearthed during excavations at Kondapur village of Medak district. These archeological discoveries indicate the existence of a buried city of vast dimensions with a number of Chaityas, Viharas, Stupas and Monasteries. After the Satavahanas, the district passed under the sway of the Mahisha dynasty. Though as many as eighteen rulers ruled this district for a period of 383 years, only two rulers Mana and Yasa proved to be powerful.
