Study Participants
Key-informants were both men and women of neo- and
settled-migrants. They have close interactions with the
group and have good reputation. They are good observers
in the sense that they were aware of the ongoing activities
and changes in the community and were involved in various socio-cultural, religious, recreational activities. Initially few key-informants were identified and
subsequently some more key-informants were identified
by using snowballing technique.[21] Thus, a total of 14
key informants were selected (Table 1). All women key
informants were housewives. All neo-migrant men were
daily wage labourers, while the settled-migrant men key
informants were involved in skilled works or small business. One neo- and two settled-migrant women did not
receive any formal education, while the rest of the settledmigrant women participants were educated with primary
school education. All men except two neo-migrants
received formal school education.
