Abstract: Abstract This paper is devoted to an exploration of the role of rural-urban migration in the context of agriculture-industry interrelations in India. Since migration relates to movement of population across space, in section 1 the spatial contours of agriculture and industry in India are defined. Section 2 brings together the evidence from the 1981 census on the magnitude of the flow of migrants, for all reasons, during the 1971–81 decade. This is done at three levels of disaggregation: at the all-India level, at the level of the major states and, thirdly, the big cities each with a population of one million or more. In particular, the labour market link is considered, captured by the flow of migrants for whom employment was the reason for migration.1
