title: Inter-state return migration in India:  1961-71.
abstract: "In this paper an attempt has been made to estimate return migration from the destination state of migrants for 15 major Indian states during 1961-71 among the life-time inter-state migrants enumerated in the 1961 census.  The model used for estimation is based on the procedure suggested by Zachariah (1967) for estimating return migration from two census data."  The results indicate that of the almost 13 million interstate migrants enumerated in the 1961 census, about 4.7 million returned during the period 1961-1971.  Factors affecting this return migration are considered.
