Abstract: Migration of any types affects the economic, social and political condition of a particular area. Rural migration in Tuidam village is largely caused by the outbreak of insurgency in Mizoram in 1966 and the reallocation of families from Serhmun village in 2017 for the areal extension of Dampa Tiger Reserve by the state government. This paper seeks to study the patterns and impact of migration in Tuidam Village and discusses its drivers, and consequences. The study was conducted by collecting primary and secondary data of Tuidam Village. Key finding of the study is that internal migration inter - state migration is dominant in the study area and most people migrated to the study area in search of better economic life and also to get close to their relatives, friends or known ones. The impact of migration shows both positives and negatives in terms of economic and tensions in the society.
