There has been a constant rise in the urban population. Explain.
✓
Answer
Comparing the data of various periods we can see that there is a continuous rise in urban population and decrease in rural population.
Urban population was $2.6$ crores $(10.9\%)$ in $1901$ which rose to $38$ crores $(32.0\%)$ in $2011.$
Availability of various physical facilities like electricity, schools, colleges, theaters, housing, good roads, transportation, communication facilities, cultural and entertainment activities, facilities for good medical treatment, etc. has led to the constant increase in urban population. Many people have also migrated from rural to urban areas because of abolition of Zamindari system and control of sahukars on business.
