Goa has a long history of migration. The return emigration is an important facet of the migration dynamics in Goa. These return emigrants ensured an uninterrupted flow of remittance from Gulf during their economically active days. They had to return back to their native place due to several reasons. Back at home they face lot of difficulties & discrimination. Inspite of their valuable contributions, they are treated as an ‘uninvited guest” by family, society & state. The study examines the difficulties encountered by return emigrants back at home & recommends state intervention for their rehabilitation.
