Abstract: Pradesh. It provides a brief history of migration in the region, addresses the current situation, and highlights the challenges faced by those settling in this border state. The primary sources of migration to Pasighat include Bihar, Nepal, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Punjab. Initially, people moved to this area during the British colonial period, and after India gained independence, many chose to remain. Migrants in Pasighat encounter several challenges, including difficulties due to the remote location, access to necessities, and strict government policies that prevent \immigrants from buying land and obtaining business licenses. Additional issues include limited transportation options, inadequate medical facilities, and a significant cultural gap. Despite these challenges, many migrants opt to stay in Pasighat. This situation contributes to a sense of uncertainty about the future, yet the substantial population still residing there presents a topic for further research. The nature and dynamics of migration in Arunachal Pradesh are unique, often involving movements from more developed areas to remote locations. Although a significant earthquake occurred in 1953, a trend of reverse migration has not been prominent. However, in recent times, some instances of reverse migration from Pasighat to other parts of India and abroad have been observed but the inflow of migration cannot stop.
