Abstract
Rickshaw pullers are one of the basic wellsprings of public transportation in metropolitan zones that furnish us with last mile availability. Besides fulfilling the expanding need for a powerful method for intra-metropolitan versatility, rickshaws have thrived in Indian urban communities on account of the migration of provincial rural populaces without critical training and capital into urban areas looking for occupations, for whom rickshaw pulling is the best accessible alternative because of its simplicity of passage. A large number of metropolitan poor people are reliant on rickshaws as a significant wellspring of work in India. This study is an endeavor to reveal the patterns constantly in migration of rickshaw pullers in Delhi. The examination center around the financial status of rickshaw pullers in Delhi and back home, the spot of having a place and the explanations behind migration and how migration has achieved an adjustment in their lives despite the growth of the imagination. To collect data, we applied survey, interviews, and interactions alongside auxiliary wellsprings of information, for example, government records if any accessible. The investigation was completed in various areas in Delhi, for example, metro stations, commercial centers and so forth. In this examination both qualitative and quantitative data were utilized for itemized investigation of the exercises.
