The main objective of the study is to find out the relationship in between migration and the impact of migration on the natural resources as well as artificial resources in Delhi. The analysis of this study is based on the secondary data. After 1993, the population growth rate due to migration is higher than the natural population growth rate, it shows that rate of migration in Delhi is relatively very high. But this type of migration create extra burden on the natural resources as well as artificial resources. This additional burden on the resources is responsible for the degradation of the quantity and quality of the available facilities such as effect on the land distribution, livestock number, medical facilities etc. This additional burden on the health care services shows adverse effect in the form of “scarcity of the health care facilities” and “increasing cost of the health care facilities”. Means migration is making to health care facilities more costly as a result one section of the society cannot afford available health facilities. Since health care services are already in limited number and the migrated people makes extra burden on these services. Means available services are not enough to handle situation so that there is need to make balance in between “requirement of the Health Care Facilities” and “supply of the Health Care Services”.
