Sociodemographic Study of Chik Baraik of Jharkhand and Odisha

The present paper is a sociodemographic study of a sample population of the Chik Baraik tribe of Jharkhand and Odisha. The sociolinguistic variables which have been taken into consideration are sex, age, education, occupation, monthly income, whether the respondents live in a joint or nuclear family, have they migrated, the purpose of migration and if people from their native place continue to migrate to cities. The results of the Chi-square independence test showed there is a highly significant association between the two states of Jharkhand and Odisha with respect to the variables of age, occupation, monthly income, whether people from your native place continue to migrate from their native place to cities or other places.

On the other hand, there is no significant association between the two states of Jharkhand and Odisha with respect to the variables of sex, education, the question as to whether the respondents live in a nuclear or joint family, whether they have migrated and the purpose of their migration.
