Despite having high per capita income growth of all states during 1900s and 2000s, interstate inequality still remains. The proportion of internal mobility in India, including interstate mobility, responds to that inequality as it was in previous decades. The proportion of interstate migration has remained constantly low over the decades (since 1961), compared to the total internal migration, and it is estimated to decline to the level of the 1981 Census in the recent 2011 Census. It is an indication of increasing nativity of the population. The conventional pattern of migration from high-income states to low-income states during 1980s and 1990s is expected to disturb widely during 2000s with the emergence of new pool centres as well as destinations. During 2000s, India has produced more emigrants than immigrants, which is, just opposite of the 1990s
