Abstract
Various factors are related in internal migration of indigenous peoples from their ancestral places,
that is hill, to the plain areas. This article aims to find out the pull and push factors of the indigenous
migration. The study has been conducted in Chittagong Export Processing Zone at Chittagong,
Bangladesh. The major finding of the study is that indigenous peoples are greatly migrated to
plain places for economic reason voluntarily. It also indicates that among 14 indigenous groups
living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), mainly Chakma people have been migrated in large volume.
