Covid-19 and migration:
Migration during Covid-19 was a common sight. The labourers, students,
employers, etc have to move to their actual place of residence. Some
move back to their own place for work and study and some shifted
permanently; therefore, the aftermath results can be best known from the
Census report. The nationwide lockdowns and restrictions imposed to
control the spread of COVID-19 disrupted he regular timeline of
conducting the census. Fieldwork, data collection and enumeration
activities were postponed or halted, leading to delays in the completion
of the census. The Covid-19 pandemic caused disruptions in internal and
international migration. People’s movement was restricted due to
lockdowns, travel bans and economic uncertainty. These change in
migration patterns may have affected he accuracy off migration- related
data gathered during the census.
