NCERT (2025-26): “Rural-Urban Composition … You have noted that contrary to rural population, the proportion of urban population (31.16 per cent) in India is quite low but it is showing a much faster rate of growth over the decades. The growth rate of urban population has accelerated due to enhanced economic development and improvement in health and hygienic conditions. The distribution of urban population too, as in the case of total population, has a wide variation throughout the country (Appendix–iii). Compare the data of Appendix (iii) and identify the states/UTs with very high and very low proportion of urban population.”
