Abstract:Youth migration has always been part of human history. Ranchi area, like many other border areas, experiences a variety of challenges as a result of the influx of young people from the neighboring Jharkhand and other states of the countries. Of great concern about this migration is the fact that the host state or area may become unsafe and unstable as a result of huge influx of migrants. There may also be tensions between local people and migrants over the resources. The study sought to investigate the effects of the neighboring states youth migration to Ranchi area. The study was undertaken in Ranchi city area. A qualitative research approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data.
