Abstract

In India, urbanization has developed into a significant and irreversible phenomenon that plays a key role in driving economic growth and eradicating poverty. India is still in the process of changing from a largely rural to a quasi-urban society, despite the fact that the process of urbanization is characterised by an increase in the number of large cities. Economic expansion is intimately tied to urbanization, which is a natural process. In demographic sense, the level of urbanization is measured by the percentage of population living in urban areas with some specific pattern of settlement.
