The transmigration program was an idea or program of the government to carry out population redistribution during the New Order era under the leadership of President Soeharto. The transmigration program, launched by the government for the equalization and dispersal of population from densely populated areas to areas with fewer inhabitants, made Tapung District, Kampar Regency one of the regions designated by the central government for transmigration areas, due to the scarcity of population at that time. The majority of residents who occupy Pagaruyung Village also have socio-cultural backgrounds from diverse ethnic groups such as the Javanese, Sundanese, Malay and Batak.
