Answer
  1. Urbanisation refers to the movement of people and human settlements from the rural areas to the urban areas.

  3. Urbanisation refers to the movement of people and human settlements from rural areas to urban areas.

The growth of urbanisation was lowest between 1961 and 1971. It was only 0.2%.
  4. Urbanisation refers to the movement of people and human settlements from rural areas to urban areas. Rapid urbanisation is taking place in India because of the rapid increase in its population. Because of the increase in its population, people require more land and other resources. Thus villages have given way to the formation of cities and have contributed to the migration of people from rural res to urban areas. Other factors like employment opportunities, a higher standard of living, better facilities and infrastructure also force people to migrate from rural areas to urban areas. Between these years, India is experiencing increasing urbanisation. In 2011, it was nearly 31.2%.
