Urban Bias in Rural Development

The article talks about development of Rural vis-à-vis urban areas.

22 Feb 2023

Context: 

The article talks about development of Rural vis-à-vis urban areas.

  • The divide between the rural and the urban has grown due to an inherent urban bias among policymakers and institutions, including the government. 
  • This happens because groups in urban areas are able to effectively influence these institutions in their favour. 
  • The spill­over from markets in urban areas is also limited to the rural areas that are closer to urban settlements. This is known as the spill­over effect where the development of rural areas is dependent on larger urban cores. 
  • Consequently, rural areas which are far away from the urban core not only suffer from a lack of development but also keep falling behind rural areas which are closer to the urban core. 
  • It is for this reason that the state must step in to correct the rural urban disparity by having in place special and targeted measures to develop rural areas.
