Question

Which of the following is an example of internal migration?

• A. Aman is travelling to Agra to see Taj Mahal.
• B. Rishabh is coming back to India after completing his studies in USA.
• C. Yosef is going to his village to meet his grandma.
• D. Jitender is leaving Bangalore to settle in his village.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Jitender is leaving Bangalore to settle in his village.

Internal migration doesn't affect the country's population distribution as the definition itself means migration within a country. Migration means movement for work or for anything which will lead to permanent settlement. Thus, Aman who is travelling can not be considered as "migrating" as he is just a traveller.
