VSAQ-4 : Reasons for rural-urban Imbalances.

Rural-urban imbalances in India can be attributed to several factors, including disparities in the availability of natural resources, historical urban bias in development policies, and the lack of essential facilities and infrastructure in rural areas. Urban regions often benefit from better access to natural resources, while government policies have historically favored urban development, exacerbating these imbalances. Additionally, rural areas often face challenges such as limited access to healthcare, transportation, communication, and reliable sources of income, which are more readily available in urban areas. These factors contribute to the rural-urban divide in the country.
