520			_aDalits or Scheduled Castes in India have been deprived of resources and dignity and are ill treated by the rest of the society. Dalits, in Bihar society, are generally assetless and landless. So they have to depend, by and large, on wage labour or agricultural labour or traditional occupation for their subsistence. But, with passage of time, average land holding size in rural Bihar has shrunk to nearly 0.5 hectares, resulting into reduction of the employment opportunities in agriculture. Further, the various schemes like MNREGS have also been insufficient to provide adequate opportunity for their livelihood. The situation forced them to migrate to other places outside state or urban centres within the state. The present paper finds that Dalit, as the migrant workers, feel dignified by working outside, away from their native social set up. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/Complete%20BJPA%20Vol%20XVI%20No.%201%20-%202019.pdf
