Solution
States of Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, U.P., Bihar, and Sikkim have a very high percentage of the rural population. The reason for the high rural population is that these areas are the ones with low levels of economic, social development and hence low level of infrastructural development, which tend to inhibit the process of urbanization. Also with sluggish growth people tend to be concentrated in the field of primary activities, therefore.
