Totally 100 samples were selected from two taluks. Tabular analysis showed that in 2011 there was sudden fall in agricultural labourers percentage i.e., 11.77 to 7.94. Survival ratio method showed that highest estimated net migration was observed in districts like Raichur, Gulbarga and Shimoga in 1971-81 and in 2001-11, highest migration was seen in Belgaum, Bellary and Gulbarga. Correlation coefficients for the variables viz., agricultural labourers, area and production, crops like Maize, Jowar, Wheat, Groundnut and Cotton revealed that there was significant relation between the area of Maize, Jowar and Cotton with migration of agricultural labourers. Multiple regression analysis showed that area of Jowar and Cotton crops were significantly contributing to the migration of agricultural labourers. Socio-personal characteristics showing that, 56 per cent of the agricultural labourers were belongs to the lower middle class.
