Abstract
The study was undertaken in the Nuapada district of Odisha to assess the impact of goat rearing in curbing distress migration. The data was collected through well designed questionnaire from 50 non-migrant goat rearers selected randomly from 5 blocks of the district, and from fifty migrant bonded labourers taken from one migratory destination i.e. suburbs of Raipur in Chhattisgarh. The migrants were selected on the basis of their experience in migration. The collected data were analyzed with suitable statistical measures like standard deviation, percentage, Pearson Coefficient of Correlation, two sample sign test and Mann-Whitney U test. The study revealed that 90 percent of non-migrant respondents were not credit worthy, 86 per cent were under stress condition and 76 percent of them were borrowing money from labour contractor before goat rearing. However, after goat rearing, 94 percent of the them reported that they are now credit worthy, 86 per cent expressed they are not under stress condition, 84 per cent never remained wage earners and 78 per cent borrowed money from organized sources only. Further, 84 per cent opined that they have made reasonable expenses for traditional rituals and 88 per cent are getting employment after harvest of paddy. The study further revealed that 90 percent of the non-migrant respondents were in strong agreement that there is social development due to their non-migration. Whereas, 69.8 percent of them strongly agree that there is financial and psychological development due to non-migration.
