This paper tries to examine the economic impact of labour out-migration from the rural areas. The labour out-migration in the rural areas is a backbone for the people to sustain their livelihood. Due to the lack of employment opportunities labour migrate towards the areas where there are diverse sources of employment. Thus migration is a big aid for the rural economy. The migration helps the people in transforming their living standards and enhances their lifestyle. The study is based upon the primary data sources. The study is carried out in the northernmost state of India i.e. Jammu and Kashmir. This region has a tough topography and people are totally dependent upon the migration. Agriculture and industrial prospects are negligible in this region of India. With the help of paper efforts have been made to show the economic impact of migration on the lives of people in the rural areas and mitigating the poverty.
