Possibilities to minimize the rural to Urban migration

Rural community which is sustained from hundreds of years is gradually switching over to urban area. Rural to urban migration is considered as a serious problem today. In one hand, the outer world is entering into the isolated Indian villages; on the other hand, villagers are turning their face towards outer world. Statistics indicates that during the last 50 years rural population has decreased from 82.0 to 68.9 percent and approximately two million people are shifting from rural to urban area annually. Due to rapid rural to urban migration not only the rural structure is transforming but also urban India is emerging as hub of pollutions. This study is conducted in eight selected villages of Ramanagara district of Karnataka state located in southern part of India to find out the possibilities to minimize rural to urban migration.
