    DETERMINANTS OF PUSH AND PULL FACTORS AMONG MIGRANT WORKERS IN COIMBATORE
    (ZENITH International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, 2014) Renuka, K
    Rural-urban migration is one of the most widespread demographic trends, particularly in developing countries. In India, it is seen that among the migrants in the rural areas, about 90 percent migrated from the rural areas while only about 9 percent were from the urban areas. Unemployment pushes migrants towards areas with greater employment opportunities. The migrant workers shift to different places either individually or with families depending upon the nature of work and seasonality of work. This movement of population is explained by both push and pull factors due to varied rural based development programme. This current study focuses on examining the various push and pull factors influencing for migration among informal workers in Coimbatore. The universe of the study consisted of all 120 migrants workers residing in Pannimadai and Veerapandi area in periyanayakkanpalayam were selected by adopting purposive sampling technique. The study found that that rural stagnation such as lack of economic and social opportunities for self improvement (education and training facilities) and lack of career progression are the main reasons for migration to urban areas. The government should identify the opportunities and constraints for poverty reduction and development provided by rural-urban linkages

    MGNREGA AS EMPLOYMENT DISTRIBUTION AMONG TRIBAL HOUSEHOLDS IN TAMILNADU
    (Science & Engineering Research Support society, 2020-01-08) G.D, Jasminedeporal; K, Arulselvam.
    Social and economic development is the main aim of rural development for rural people, especially to bring about sustained improvement in their living condition through an increase in their income and access to social goods. The status of women is intimately connected with their economic status, which in turn, depends upon rights, roles and opportunity for the participation in economic activities. The economic status of women is now accepted as an indicator of a societal development stage. However, all development does not result in improving women economic activities. Pattern of women activities are affected by the prevailing social ideology and are also linked with the stage of economic development. Government implements different programmes to improve the social and economic development in rural India. The introduction of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) is one of the affirmative programme. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act was enacted in September 2005. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme was launched on 02.02.2006 and was initially implemented in six districts in Tamil Nadu,viz., Cuddalore, Dindigul, Nagapattinam, Sivagangai,Tiruvannamalai and Villupuram from 02.02.2006 onwards and in four more districts viz. Thanjavur,Tiruvarur, Tirunelveli and Karur from 01.04.2007 onwards. From 01.04.2008 onwards, the scheme was extended to the remaining twenty one districts of the state. Thus, the MGNREGA covers the entire country with the exception of districts that have a hundred percent urban population. The mandate of the Act is to provide 100 days of guaranteed wage employment on demand in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. Besides having the potential of creating useful assets, strengthening democracy and decentralisation by affecting transparency and accountability this flagship programme of the Government endeavours to empowerment of the socially disadvantaged, especially women, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, through the processes of a rights-based legislation. Thus, MGNREGA with twin objectives of rural employment and development has been perceived as a powerful instrument for inclusive growth in rural India because of its triple impact on social protection, livelihood security and democratic empowerment.

    (Agri-Bio-Publishers, 2020) Sathyaseelan V; Senthilkumar M; Pazhanisamy M; Baskaran V
    It is obvious that the quality and quantity of clusterbean were drastically reduced by various insect and pests. The study was carried out to evaluate the bioefficacy of various essential oils on the repellency property against two spotted spider mite on clusterbean. Treatments included the Eucalyptus oil, Ocimum oil, Lavendula oil, Mentha oil, Rosemarinus oil, Cymbopogon oil, Syzygium oil and untreated check for its efficacy. The maximum repellency was recorded in case of Eucalyptus oil (82.42%) and Ocimum oil (79.26%) followed by Rosemarinus oil (76.81%). The Mentha oil and Cymbopogon oil showed similar results, whereas the Syzygium oil (68.14%) recorded a moderate repellency against mite. The least repellency was recorded in Lavendula oil (52.87%) against two-spotted spider mite after 48 h of release.

    AN OVERVIEW ON TRIBAL MIGRATION IN INDIA
    (Asian Journal of Multidimensional Research Journals (AJMR), 2018) GD, Jasminedeporal; K, Arulselvam
    India is a pluralist country, with rich diversity, reflected in the multitude of cultures, religions, languages and racial stocks. The Indian population includes different castes, communities and social groups. The prevalence of such pluralism has made the social and economic opportunities are differently distributed on the lines of caste and class affiliations. At the geographical level also, India has equally pervasive and diverse features. The term ―tribe‖ means, a group of people who live at a particular place from time immemorial. This study has made an attempt on understanding tribal migration using Secondary data from census, Government of India. Most of the tribal areas are hilly, inaccessible undulating plateau lands in the forest areas of the country resulting in the bypassing of general developmental programmes. They have a negative energy balance, high morbidity rate, and low child survival rate. They suffer from taboos and superstitions and remain deprived of the benefits from existing development and welfare programmes. This is a challenge for both rural and urban planners. Keeping in view that tribal livelihoods are conditioned by the eco-system and they are dependent on agriculture, large scale migration due to poor economic conditions is a serious cause of concern.

    PROBLEMS AND ISSUES IN THE PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF COCOON IN COIMBATORE DISTRICT
    (Special Issue on Indian Agriculture Success and Sustainability, Bonfring International Journal of Research in Arts and Science, 2018-02-07) M, Lalithambigai; M, Jayamala
    Sericulture refers to the conscious mass-scale rearing of silk producing organism to obtain silk. Sericulture plays a vital role in rural development, as it integrates well with farming systems and has the potential to generate attractive income throught the year. India being the second largest producer of silk contributes only about 15 percent of the world raw silk production and depends on imports to meet its domestic demand. Therefore the paper on “Problems and issues in the production and marketing of cocoon in Coimbatore District” focuses to understand the problems faced by sericulture farmers in cocoon production, which is the first stage in silk production. The study has been conducted with120 sericulture farmers in Coimbatore district, TamilNadu. The study concludes that the problems of sericulture farmers can never be overcome by strengthening extension system and provide adequate credit facility. The remunerative selling price for the cocoon produced by the sericulture farmers will only make them continue sericulture in the future.
