Can migration reduced if the NREGA Act (2005)is implemented well - migration involves a great social cost as well as families get uprooted. Children get separated from their parents and their education might suffer. Also a study is done to show that if the Villupuram model of implementing the scheme is successful in providing enough incentive to curb distress migration and create productive assets secondarily for the villages, it could be used as a model for regions like Kalahandi-Bolangir-Koraput (KBK) in Orissa where people die of starvation till today and alternative means of employment other than agriculture should be created.
