The movement of people from agriculture areas to big cites has caused many problems at both places. What are the reasons for this problem and how can it be solved.

#movement #people #agriculture #areas #places
Globalisation and urbanization have led to the
development
 of big
cities
 and have encouraged
people
 to move to
cities
 to seek a better standard of living.
However
,
this
migration
 has caused a population explosion and a shortage of manpower in the farming industry in villages. In
this
 essay, I will discuss the impact of movement on rural and urban
areas
 and suggest some possible solutions. There are several reasons why
people
 move to metropolitan
areas
. One of the major reasons for
migration
 from rural
areas
 is infrastructure and
development
such
 as better education, health care, sanitation, housing, business opportunities, transportation, better recreational
facilities
, ample job opportunities and good social life attract which result in overpopulation in urban
areas
.
Thus
, overcrowding in urban centres leads to problems
such
 as lack of housing
facilities
, congestion in small
areas
,
development
 of slums, inadequate sewage facility and so on. To exemplify, the Dharavi slum in India is known for
people
 living in small
areas
 with poor sanitation, inadequate water and sewage
facilities
.
On the other hand
,
migration
 affects agricultural activities in rural
areas
. Rural
people
 are involved in occupations like farming and when they move to
cities
 for jobs there are fewer
people
 to work on farms and
hence
 less the agriculture yields.
However
, several steps to overcome these problems are to decrease the
development
 gap between the rural and urban by providing more opportunities in villages. Government can minimize
migration
 to big
cities
 by providing educational and medical services
such
 as establishing a hospital in a central area between villages, establishing universities, better transport
facilities
 and sub-government departments like a mini-city in the centre of the countryside. In conclusion, the rate of
migration
 can be controlled by bringing the
development
 in rural
areas
 remote and rural
areas
 should be carried out with strategic implementations and missions keeping in mind the quality of life in both place
