Question

What are the two main causes for an increase in the number of high population density areas in the Indian region?

Answer 1

1. Urbanisation and Industrialisation:
   • Rapid growth of cities and industries has created more job opportunities, attracting people from rural areas.
   • Metropolitan areas like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata have seen a sharp rise in population due to this migration.
2. Improved Infrastructure and Living Conditions:
   • Better transport, healthcare, education, and housing facilities have made many regions more liveable.
   • Areas with good infrastructure attract more people, leading to higher population density.
