Abstract: Heavy rain fell during the monsoon season from June to October 2022 and caused urban flooding in Sindh and Balochistan. The Government of Pakistan declared 85 districts as climate-hit. The 2022 flood caused the migration of many people from rural to urban areas of Sindh. Floods had a socio-economic impact on migrant families, causing damage to property, houses, agricultural land, infrastructure, livestock, health, and education. The present study aims to analyze the impact of flood migration on the education of migrant children and the city administration of immigration. For the current study, a survey method was used to collect data from 384 respondents. Data was collected from two districts of Sindh, Dadu (K.N. Shah) and District Naushahro Feroze. In the 2022 flood, highly affected areas were Dadu, Khairpur, and Naushahro Feroze; these districts faced a large number of migrations toward Hyderabad, Jamshoro, and Karachi (PDMA, 2023). A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, and respondents were selected randomly from those villages from which people had migrated to cities. Data was analyzed in SPSS and presented in graphs. Recommended measures are suggested for policymakers.
