Male out-migration has become a way of life particularly among the rural households of Odisha. For decades now, the rural parts Odisha, have been witnessing huge exodus of male members to urban centres due to the lack of non-farm jobs and industrial underdevelopment. Out-migration is one of the common strategies used by men in rural areas to overcome the uncertainties associated with agriculture and also as a means to diversify their income. This paper attempts to study the pattern of male out-migration for economic reason from rural Odisha using data collected through a primary survey conducted in four villages of Ganjam district.KEYWORDS: Out-Migration, Socio-economic Characteristics, Odisha, Ganjam, Rural-Urban Migration
