In this contemporary era, an improvement in socioeconomic conditions often appears to exclusively favour urban centres rather than agrarian communities. This essay intends to list a few possible factors behind this menace along with some corrective measures to address it.
One of the wide spread reasons is economic inequality. In countryside, people don’t get any great opportunity because of limited resources so that individual often obtain limited income from agricultural work. For example, recently times of India published article, in India 95% population are residing in cites so that individual can obtain better deal of money and opportunity. This shows that migrating in modern city not only getting chance of job but also it benefits in the economic development in long run. As a result, people feel discouraged to live in rural areas because of economic imbalance. Moreover, cities frequently get advanced technology compared to villages. In cities internet services are available 24*7 and also government invests more money to improve the infrastructure, whereas in rural areas people are struggling to use technology because of limited availability of high-speed internet and other services.
To mitigate this issue, firstly companies or industries should invest in rural areas. If the companies and industries open a branch in rural areas people get same income and opportunity as people who residing in city. For example, In Gujarat, many companies are opening their branches so that people can get better job opportunity in different areas. Apart from this, authorities should equally prioritise to allocate fund for rural and city. In countryside people get better facility in term of technology same as city’s individual take.
In the crux of the matter, economic inequality and advanced technology are in the root of this concern, which can be overcome by industries invest in rural areas and equally prioritise the funds.
