Thiruvananthapuram: The sixth edition of the Kerala
Migration Survey (KMS 2010), which will monitor the status of
migration and remittances by non-resident Keralites to the state,
has begun.
It will be conducted by the Centre for Development Studies (CDS),
like the previous five editions, and will cover 15,000 sample
households.
S. Irudaya Rajan, chair professor and project director, of
Research Unit on International Migration in CDS, told IANS that
the 2010 survey will cover about 15,000 representative sample
households from 300 select localities spread all over the state.
"This survey would assess not only the trends in migration and
remittance but also the socio-economic scenario in the state in
terms of education, employment, unemployment, health and
insurance, household indebtedness, consumption, savings and
investment," said Rajan.
The survey is financed by the Department of Non-Resident Keralite
Affairs, government of Kerala, and executed by the ministry of
overseas Indian affairs research unit on international migration
at CDS.
"In KMS 2010, an attempt will be made to evaluate the Rashtriya
Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) aimed at providing health insurance to
the poor. It will also collect information on the type of ration
cards held by households, enrolment details, healthcare
consumption, provider choice and access to healthcare services and
public satisfaction with RSBY," added Rajan.
The survey is likely to be completed by April 2011 and the
preliminary report is expected in the second half of 2011.
