Give geographical reason : Rural to urban migration is increasing.

Answer: Push factors in villages and pull factors in cities are both becoming stronger, so more people are moving from rural to urban areas.

• Push factors: small land holdings, dependence on monsoon, droughts, low agricultural income, unemployment and lack of facilities in villages.
• Pull factors: jobs in industries and services, higher wages, better education, health care, transport and entertainment in cities.
• Improved transport and communication make it easier to move and to learn about opportunities in cities.
• Rapid industrialisation and urbanisation have increased demand for labour, e.g. migration to Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Bengaluru.
