Abstract	Through this study attempt has been made to focuses on environmental crisis as a reason for the continued migration of people from Bangladesh to Assam, India throughout the ages. It is a well accepted concept that cross-border migration is a constant but dynamic phenomenon. Various factors are responsible for it. Environmental issues in the rural areas of developing countries are major causes of concern for this type of cross-border movement of population in South Asia. Such movement of population in the Indo-Bangladesh context is generating a range of destabilizing socio-political, economic, ethnic and communal tensions in India The major climate events that impact Bangladesh significantly are floods and cyclones. Study shows that scarcity of land and water in the rural areas of Bangladesh, caused by rapid population growth, environmental change and unequal resource distribution invoked widespread landlessness, unemployment, declining wages and income, growing income disparities and degradation of human habitat. The affected people, unable to satisfy their needs moved to India where the prospect of life appears to be better. The information collected for the purpose of the study is based on secondary data only. It is analytical and descriptive in nature.
