Question

what have been the effects of rural urban migration in India explain with examples

Answer 1

Rural-urban migration is a natural phenomenon in any society. It takes special attention in developing countries where industrialization is in progress and economic activities are on rise. Recently, I had been to Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra to study migration. Ratnagiri is a district which has migration since 1940, precisely three generations; this is what I knew before reaching through census data. To my surprise, it is true. Why I was surprised? Precisely because whenever I hear migration, the first place that comes to me is Bihar. In case I forget that it is Bihar, I am always reminded by people in conversation that Biharis takes job, they cause all types of problem and blah blah... Well I am not being racist, I myself am from land of migrants Bihar. I do also remind them, Yaa yaa... you are right I am also from Bihar. Ohk! coming back to Ratnagiri. The following answer are to a quite extent based on my experience in Ratnagiri.

Reasons:

Migration due to marriage is not considered migration by the definition of census. Half of the population (female) in our country migrate due to marriage but are not included officially.Most of the villages due to geographical constraints have limited economic activities. Limited economic activities also restricts employment opportunities. Population increase is insufficiently met by economic opportunities which lead to increase in mobility of the rural population.Village economy is mainly based on agriculture and people without agricultural land find hard to sustain as there are hardly any other economic activities. They are forced to migrate for better opportunities.Most of the migrant workers are ready to take up any job in new cities and are not concerned about their social position and status. However, what kind of jobs they take in their village is also determined by how they identity themselves in the village.Education and job is another reason for migration. young population migrates to cities for higher/technical degrees. After completion, they get a job in cities. Emergence of IT sector is one of the factors which has lead to migration in the working class. They are restricted to live in cities. Most of the migration is through social network. People, if they have relatives/friends/acquaintances in cities, they are ready to move to cities and try their luck.It has become more of a tradition to follow. It is more like, "nothing is there in the village. My dad went and worked in the city. I will also go." Many a times it is the parents who condition their children that they should move to cities for better livelihood.Cosmopolitan culture is also deriving people to migrate to cities. With the penetration of media in rural areas, people are exposed to various cultures and way of life. They do not hesitate to try their luck in cities.

Edit: As per census report, rural to urban migration increased from 42% in 2001 to 56% in 2011.
