Migration, Relief & Rehabilitation and Social-Living Condition of Kashmiri Pandit Migrants of Camp and Non-Camp Areas in Jammu District

Abstract

The disturbed conditions existing due to onset of militancy in the Kashmir Valley since 1990, led to mass exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the valley of Kashmir to Jammu and other parts of the country. A number of measures by government have been taken over the year by way of financially assistance/relief and other initiatives to provide support to the affected families within a broad policy framework that those who have migrated will eventually return to the valley. Government has been providing relief to those displace families of camp and non-camp area in Jammu district who have no source of income after migration. This study is an attempt to analyse the social-living conditions of Kashmiri migrants of camp and non-camp area in Jammu district.
