Good attempt.
Structure of the answer is good, content is also fine, however some points can be explained a bit more since this is a 15 marker.
Intro is good.
Causes mentioned are also fine, include some examples to enrich your answer, you can mention some of the dams, SEZs, LARR Act etc
Impact on tribals, dalits and women can be elaborated a bit.. Although being only 8% of population, 40% people being displaced are tribals, almost 20% are Dalits- you can include these data for value addition.
Impacts part is also good, violation of human rights, political disenfranchisement at times can be mentioned. Some points can be elaborated, for example, how food insecurity leads to higher morbidity, cultural loss leads to alienation and isolation etc
Way forward is good. A concluding statement can be written.
Keep practicing. 🙂

You have got the crux of the question wrong. It is not about migration for economic/personal benefits but about displacement caused due to infrastructure building/development projects.. like dams, SEZs, industrial projects etc. Large-scale development projects continuously push up the consumption of natural resources, thereby depriving the indigenous people of their traditional means of sustenance and forcing them to relocate. You can mention environment-induced displacement as that may be caused due to development projects, other than that most of the things you have written is about migration.
After introducing, you need to show how poor and marginalized are most effected- Most displaced persons are asset less rural poor, landless labourers and small and marginal farmers. Tribals comprising around 8%of India’s population are estimated to be more than 40% of the displaced population. Additionally, Dalits constitute almost 20% of displaced persons.
No need to mention the causes, question itself has mentioned.
In next section, you can mention the impact- increasing morbidity due to food insecurity, loss of employment, cultural alienation, violation of human rights, political disenfranchisement at times etc
Finally, give a conclusion, suggesting some ways to solve the issue- better compensation and rehabilitation, social impact assessment of projects etc
Keep practicing. 🙂

Your attempt is nice. Handwriting is very good. Content is a bit less since this is a 15 marker, however your understanding of the topic is good.
Intro is fine, after that you need to show how it effects the poor and marginalized the most- Most displaced persons are asset less rural poor, landless labourers and small and marginal farmers. Tribals comprising around 8%of India’s population are estimated to be more than 40% of the displaced population. Additionally, Dalits constitute almost 20% of displaced persons. You can mention these data, also can add something about impact on women.
Effects mentioned are also good, some more points such as increased morbidity due to food insecurity, violation of human rights, political disenfranchisement at times, cultural alienation can be mentioned.
Conclusion is good, mention of international bodies is also nice.
Keep practicing. 🙂

The question is not about overall migration but just development induced displacement i.e. displacement due to infrastructure building such as highways, dams, power plants, SEZs etc So, intro you can just define that and give some examples Polavaram project, Sardar Sarovar Dam etc
Causes need not be mentioned, because the question is specific and the cause is given in question only.
Conflict, pandemic etc can be avoided, you can mention about disasters and environment briefly because they might be caused due to development projects.
After that you can mention briefly, how it impacts the poor and marginalized the most- Most displaced persons are asset less rural poor, landless labourers and small and marginal farmers. Tribals comprising around 8%of India’s population are estimated to be more than 40% of the displaced population. Additionally, Dalits constitute almost 20% of displaced persons.
Impacts mentioned are good, further violation of human rights, political disenfranchisement, cultural alienation etc can be written.
In way forward, points 3,4 and 5 are good.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
