The present study examines the effect of migration on 13 anthropometric traits. the migrant Oraons of Sundarban area of South 24-Parganas of West Bengal were compared with sedentary Oraons of Gumla District of Bihar as well as migrant Oraons of Duars of Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal. The study reveals that migrant Oraons of Sundarban are heavier and taller from Oraon sedente and Oraon migrant of Duars. Migrant Oraons of Sudarban have significantly lower values in bi-italic diameter, biceps girth, cephalic length, nasal breadth, morphological facial height, bizygomatic breadth, etc. from Oraon sedente as well at Oraons of Duars. In conclusion there is an overall impact on adult body dimensions due to migration
