Question
Give a geographical reason.
Urbanization is increasing rapidly in India.
Solution
- Urbanization refers to the movement of people and human settlements from rural areas to urban areas.
- Rapid urbanization is taking place in India because of the rapid increase in its population. Because of the increase in its population, people require more land and other resources.
- Thus villages have given way to the formation of cities and have contributed to the migration of people from rural areas to urban areas.
- Other factors like employment opportunities, a higher standard of living, better facilities and infrastructure also force people to migrate from rural areas to urban areas.
