Can an Indian citizen enjoy the freedom to travel in any part of the country?

Answer:

  • Citizens are free to reside and settle in any part of India.
  • This right allows lakhs of people to migrate from villages to towns and from poorer regions of the country to prosperous regions and big cities.
  • For example, a person who belongs to Assam wants to start a business in Hyderabad. He may not have any connections with that place or people there, he may have not seen it ever. Yet as a citizen of India, he has the right to set up base there.
