Abstract
This paper aims to extend the migration models for single origin and multiple destinations proposed by previous authors (Singh and Yadava, 1974, 1979; Singh 1986; and Sivamurthy and Kadi, 1984). Some particular forms of the models are tested in the Indian situation. It is found that distance has a negligible role in explaining the rural-urban migration in India while past migrant stock variable measured in the form of opportunity has its major contribution.
