Abstract

Population migration has been a defining phenomenon in the socio-economic development of nations during the post-independence era. This study utilizes geospatial techniques to analyze migration trends, focusing on urban-rural migration, inter-state movement, and their socio-economic impact. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, demographic datasets, and historical migration records were integrated to identify significant migration corridors and population redistribution patterns. The findings highlight regional imbalances, urban concentration, and emerging migration hotspots, providing a comprehensive perspective on the dynamic spatial redistribution of populations since independence.

Keywords: Population migration, geospatial analysis, post-independence, GIS, urbanization
