Sex ratio, population density, population growth rate and migration are the four most vital indicators of the population distribution irrespective of the area concerned. If the birth and death rates are more or less equally observed all over the area then migration plays a vital role to change the population and its distribution. People of the study area have been experiencing a gradual wave of migration from adjoining rural areas of the district and even from the other states nearer toNH314 (formerly NH60A) for better livelihood and amenities. The paper has focused deeply on the spatial distribution of population in study area. There are 111 habitable and 5 uninhabitable Mouzas are situated in the Hura C.D Block of Purulia District of which specially 5 Mouzas have been selected for case studies. The study is based on the census data of 1991-2011 population to analyze and to get real picture of the study-area. Various suitable statistical methods have been applied here to get a clear understanding. Maps and images have been taken from Google earth and have been modified by Arc GIS (10.3.1) platform to show the actual changes. The result speaks that migration play a vital role behind the population distribution of the particular area concerned to achieve better standard of living.
