Dahod district in Gujrat is an entirely Tribal and backward populated area. The total population 
of the district is 21,20,000. Most of the population always migrates to developed areas of the 
country in search of jobs and work. This study Targeted people who migrated from the Dahod 
Tribal district and returned to Dahod in eastern Gujarat. Blood transfusion is a treatment and 
has proven lifesaving in millions of lives. Unsafe blood transfusion is one of the transmission 
methods for infectious agents. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of coinfection of transfusion-transmitted infections in these migrated blood donors.
