Point out the factors that the Government of India uses to distinguish migrants.

• A. Place of birth
• B. Place of education
• C. Mother's birthplace
• D. Place of last residence

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Place of last residence

The Census of India enumerates migrants based on the place of birth and the place of last residence. If the place of birth is different from the place of enumeration, then the person will be identified as a life-time migrant. If the place of last residence is different, then that person will be identified as migrant by the place of last residence.
