Objectives: To bring out the factor, issues and challenges responsible for migration of people to the state of Jammu & Kashmir and the consequences and aftermath of the migration of people from all over the country to both urban and rural centers.
Methodology/Statistical Analysis: The study has taken National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data for deriving the logical results/findings. For data analysis simple statistical tools like compound growth rates, averages, percentages and prediction analysis has been carried out for deriving meaningful results.
Findings: From the analysis of the data, it has been found that people migrate for searching improved livelihood and decent standard of living. Many regions in the country are underdeveloped/poor and that is the reason they couldn't fulfill the requirements of people and support the population demand, these people therefore, to have access to new things and opportunities migrate to different places. The study further points out that the process of migration is important to understand movement of public to different regions due to change in various socio-economic, socio-cultural and other dimensions of social domain. The study is of the opinion that agriculture the dominant activity and source of earning for both migrant and non-migrant families, expenditure of migrant households on consumption in all respects was more than their production expenditure furthermore, migration of people, their income, expenditure and net savings are positively correlated.
Application/Improvement: The study will be of enormous help for the policy planners to curb the process of migration up to a great extent. The study has laid down policy suggestions which will be of great applicability in the current situation for prohibiting the migration of people to urban centers or even to rural areas.

Objectives: The study was conducted in four agro-ecosystems of the Kashmir Valley. The main objective of the study was to analyse the interdependence of the different agro-ecosystems of the valley.
Methods/Statistical Analysis: The ecosystem comprises of biotic and a biotic components. The study analyses many components of the four agro-ecological zones of the valley like human beings, pests, rodents etc. to quantify interdependence among the various components of agro-ecosystems, the static input-output model was used.
Findings/Results: All the components were highly interdependent and interlinked with each other. The four agro-ecosystems viz. field crop based agro-ecosystem were found to be totally interlinked with fruit crop based agro-ecosystem and livestock based ecosystem and intern the cash crop base agro-ecosystem was found interlinked with other three agro-ecosystems in the sampled area. Similarly, the cash crop and fruit crop agro-ecosystems were found more remunerative than other two agro-ecosystems, meaning there by that the value of these goods and services is very high and can provide livelihood to a huge chunk of people in almost all the four agro-ecosystems.
Application/Improvements: The study having great applicability for the betterment of poor farmers. This study can be an eye opener for the policy makers and planners, so that necessary step shall be taken to improve the living standard of the poor farmers.
