How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 gave constitutional status to urban local bodies and added the Twelfth Schedule.
  • Urbanisation is measured in the Census by the share of urban population in the total population.
  • Rural-to-urban shift is driven by migration, natural increase and reclassification of rural settlements as urban.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS-I (urbanisation, population and settlement) and GS-II (local government). Rapid rural decline and urban growth strain infrastructure and services, so regional plans must be backed by empowered urban local bodies under the 74th Amendment. The way forward lies in balanced regional growth, strengthening secondary cities and protecting agriculture and rural livelihoods.
