34. Read the following text carefully and answer the given questions on the basis of the same and common understanding:
View Solution People, generally are emotionally attached to their place of birth. But millions of people leave their places of birth
and residence. There could be variety of reasons. These reasons can be put into two broad categories, i.e., push
factor, these cause people to leave their place of residence or origin; and pull factors, which attract the people from
different places.
In India, people migrate from rural to urban areas mainly due to poverty, high population pressure on the land, lack
of basic infrastructural facilities like healthcare, education, etc. Apart from these factors, natural disasters such
as flood, drought, cyclonic storms, earthquake, tsunami, wars and local conflicts also give extra push to migrate.
On the other hand, there are pull factors which attract people from rural areas to cities. The most important pull
factor for majority of the rural migrants to urban areas is the better opportunities, availability of regular work and
relatively higher wages. Better opportunities for education, better health facilities and sources of entertainment, etc.,
are also quite important pull factors.
Hence, migration is a response to the uneven distribution of opportunities over space. People tend to move from
place of low opportunity and low safety to the place of higher opportunity and better safety. This, in turn, creates
both benefits and problems for the areas, people migrate from and migrate to. Consequences can be observed in
economic, social, cultural, political and demographic terms.
(a) Explain, why in India people mainly migrate from rural to urban areas?
(b) Explain, how expenditure on migration is a source of human capital formation?
