Migration can lead to a “brain drain” in Mizoram, which means:

Loss of skilled and educated people
Increased cultural diversity
Remittances sent back to families
Reduced pressure on resources

The correct answer is: a) Loss of skilled and educated people.

A brain drain is the emigration of a large number of skilled people from a country, typically to developed countries. This can have a negative impact on the country’s economy and society, as it can lead to a shortage of skilled workers and a loss of intellectual capital.

In the case of Mizoram, a brain drain could lead to a shortage of doctors, nurses, teachers, and other skilled professionals. This could have a negative impact on the state’s healthcare, education, and other public services. Additionally, a brain drain could lead to a loss of cultural diversity, as skilled people from Mizoram move to other countries.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Increased cultural diversity is not necessarily a negative thing. It can lead to a more vibrant and cosmopolitan society.
  • Remittances sent back to families can be a positive thing, as they can help to improve the lives of people who remain in Mizoram.
  • Reduced pressure on resources is not necessarily a good thing. It can lead to a decline in the quality of life, as there are fewer people to work and contribute to the economy.
