Abstract

India is a vast country with an area of about 3.288 million Km2 with a population of about 1.221 billion as per Census 2011 which included 0.37 billion urban population and 0.83 billion rural population. As compared to the previous census record of 2001, the urban population has increased 9.1% whereas the rural population has decreased by 9.0%. The Government of India, in various periods of times, have implemented various policies to curb the rural urban migration. The most common of these are: (i) Formation of National Capital Region (NCR), 1992; (ii) Provision of Urban Amenities to Rural Areas (PURA), 2003 and (iii) ‘Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission’ (SPMRM), 2016. The present paper focuses on the aspects of these three schemes analysing the SPMRM scheme from a critic's point of view and discusses about its future outcome.
