what number of people migrated from villages towards cities from North and South India
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Every minute, 25-30 people are migrating to Indian cities from rural areas in search of better livelihood and lifestyles. If the pace of migration from rural areas to urban centers continues, Indian urban population is likely to reach 600 million by 2030. But before we brand this influx as a problem, it is critical to highlight that this event is likely to create one of the biggest concentration of consumer companies selling automobiles to apparels, and will contribute 75% of India’s GDP by 2030.
As per Economic Survey 2016-17 estimates, an average of 90 million people migrated annually through railways between Indian states annually during the last five years. This is almost double the migration rate recorded during the first decade of the century. The National Capital Region in North India — Delhi, Gurugram, Gautam Budh Nagar — being the largest employment center recorded highest in-migration; while Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh continued to be the net human resource providers for the rest of the country.
Reasons and the types of migrants range, from a highly skilled IT engineer eyeing IT development centers in Bengaluru or Hyderabad to a farm labourer migrating from hinterlands of Uttar Pradesh to work at a construction site in Gurugram. One can visit a railway station or airport in mega cities to witness the epic annual home-travellers’ rush during festivals such as Diwali, Holi and Eid.
