Abstract
Data collection on immigration and emigration in India is carried out by various government agencies. The Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner and the National Sample Survey Organization collect data on immigration whereas the Ministry of External Affairs, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs collect data on emigration. The Reserve Bank of India is the main source of data on remittance returns. Data on emigration need to collect more information on the destination, purpose of emigration, sex, states of origin, age and educational profile of migrants. Coordination among ministries dealing with international migration and cooperation with academic institutions and non-government agencies are recommended.
