Although, the State Labour, EMPLOYMENT, Training & Skill development department still doesnt have comprehensive data of the Migration of labourers from Jharkhand to other states but officials admitted Goa is the preferred destination of many labourers.

Anganwadi and other workers working at the grass root level were involved in the survey. But the survey ended with less than a lakh people having migrated to other States as people were hesitant to divulge details of their family members working outside of Jharkhand.
