1. Methodology
Methodology suggested by the Ministry of Rural Development-Government of India
was adopted for identification and ranking of clusters under the SPM Rurban Mission.
In both the cases i.e., tribal and non tribal clusters for identification and ranking the
parameters used are decadal growth in the population, decadal increase in the
proportional nonfarm work force and decadal growth in the literacy rate. In addition to
this in case of non tribal clusters rise in land value, percentage of active MGNREGA
workers with Adhar and bank account and performance in the Swatch Bharat Mission
(Grameen) are taken into consideration.
A ‘Rurban Cluster’, would be a cluster of geographically contiguous villages with a
population of about 25000 to 50000 in plain and coastal areas and a population of
5000 to 15000 in desert, hilly or tribal areas. For identification of cluster Gram
Panchayat is considered as a unit rather than the villages. Considering the population
limit for the cluster and organization of Gram Panchayat in Jharkhand state it would
reduce to a definition where in tribal cluster will have two Gram Panchayats and non
tribal clusters will have five Gram Panchayats located adjacent to each other, so that
they form cluster together and have potential for future growth.
The process of identification GP which are contiguous in nature with above
parameters like population growth, growth in non farm work force and others like
having growth centres is done with the help of Geo Jharkhand web portal developed
by Jharkhand Space Application Centre (JSAC) Ranchi and GIS Laboratory of
Jharkhand State Watershed Mission (JSWM) under the Rural Development
Department Government of Jharkhand.
Ranking of cluster:-
All the clusters identified in the state are ranked to select the most potential cluster for
the first phase of the project. The following list of parameters identified and
weightages defined for each parameter for ranking the cluster. The parameters are
different for clusters in tribal and non tribal blocks. The parameters for tribal and non
tribal clusters for ranking are as listed below,
��

1. Decadal Grown in the population
Census data for each district is downloaded from http://censusindia.gov.in/, the
data in the census report is available village wise and not the Gram Panchayat wise.
First 5 GPs are indentified for forming a non tribal cluster. Then the list of villages
coming under each GPs are enlisted. The total population of each village is obtained
from Column no. 11(TOT_P) in the census data. The total population of the cluster is
calculated by summing up population of each villages falling within the proposed
cluster. The above exercise is repeated to find out the total population of the cluster
for the year 2001 also. Then the decadal growth in the population is calculated as
follows,
Decadal growth in population (a) =
Population in 2011-Population in 2001
--------------------------------------------- x 100
Population in 2001
Decadal growth in population=a%
2. Rise in land values
For calculating the rise in land values within a cluster the land values of three
types of land agricultural, commercial and residential lands is considered. The land
value of different types of land for current year obtained from the website
http://regd.jharkhand.gov.in/jars/website/.
In each Gram Panchayat highest recorded value for each three types of lands
agriculture, residential and commercial per unit either acre or hectare is considered.
Then the average land value in each Gram Panchayat is found as.
��
�
Average land value in GP =
Land value of Agri+residential+commercial
-----------------------------------------------------
3
Then the average land value for the cluster is found using average land values
in each GPs included in the cluster for the year 2015-16.
The land values for the year 2013-14 are obtained from CO office at block. The
above exercise is repeated to find the average land value for the year 2013-14.
Then the final rise in land value for the cluster is calculated as follows,
Rise in land value (b) =
(Average land value for cluster 2015-16)-
(Average land value for cluster 2013-14)
--------------------------------------------------- x 100
Average land value for cluster 2013-14
Rise in land value= b%
3. Decadal growth in Non Farm Work force participation
The non farm work force is calculated from the census dada as follows,
Non Farm Work Force (NF)= MAIN_HH_P (column no. 41) + MAIN_OT_P (column
no. 44) + MARG_HH_P (column no. 56) +
MARG_OT_P (column no. 59)
The total rural workforce (TF) is obtained from the column no 29
(TOT_WORK_P) in the census data. The percentage of workforce engaged in the non
farming activities in calculated as follows,
% of workforce in NF in 2011(x) =
(Non Farm work force NF)
----------------------------------- x 100
Total rural workforce (TF)
The exercise is repeated for the year 2001 also. Let us say percentage of
workforce engaged in the non farming activities in the year 2001 is y.
Then change in the proportional workforce engaged in the non farming
activities(c) is found as c=x-y.
Decadal growth in NF work force= c%
��
�
4. Percentage of enrollment of girls in secondary schools
Enrolment details are obtained from the District Education Officer (DEO) office.
First the list of secondary schools in the proposed cluster is enlisted. Then the
enrolment details of boys and girls in those are summed up get the enrolment details
for the cluster.
Then the percentage of enrolment of girls in secondary schools is calculated as
follows,
Percentage of girls (d)=
Girls enrolled in secondary schools
-------------------------------------------------x 100
Total students (boys and girls) in secondary
schools
Percentage of enrolment of girls in secondary schools= d%
5. Percentage of active job card holders with the adhar no and bank account.
The data related to this obtained from the NREGA MIS Report R1.1.3 in the
website
http://164.100.128.68/netnrega/state_html/uid_rpt.aspx?lflag=local&state_code=3
4&state_name=JHARKHAND&page=S&fin_year=2015-
2016&short_name=JH&Digest=7tIf0Bz8vcvJzRGVlnCvtw.
Percentage of active JC under MGNREGA with Aadhar & bank account (e) is
calculated as follows,
% active JC with adhar and bank account (e)=
Column No 10
-----------------------x 100
Column No 3
During the first meeting of the SLEC Rurban Mission Jharkhand looked at the
criterion for selection. It felt that the scoring criterion adopted for MNREGA viz.
higher score to higher proportion of active job card holders with adhar and bank
account did not serve as a good proxy for urban growth phenomenon. Instead the
cluster with higher score in this parameter must be given lower weightage for final
selection. So for calculation of the weighted average score for this parameter the
lowest value is found and is assigned the score of 10. All clusters are given score
based on their absolute value in this parameter.
��
�
6. Performance in Swatch Bharat Mission(Grameen)
This data for this parameter is obtained from the SBM website www.sbm.gov.in .
In the reports the Format
F21(http://sbm.gov.in/TSC/Report_NBA/Panchayat/Rpt_TargetVsAch_SelectionBase
d.aspx?id=Home) is used for calculation. Date related to each GP is calculated to get
the data for the cluster. Then the performance in the SBM(G) is calculated as follows,
Performance in SBM(G)=
Total mo of HH covered after 2012(Column 12)
-------------------------------------------------x 100
Total HH identified (Column no 9)
Performance in Swatch Bharat Mission (Grameen) =f%
For the tribal clusters the parameters for ranking are as listed below,
For Tribal Clusters:
Sl. No Parameter Weightage(%)
1 Decadal growth in population 35
2 Growth in literacy rate 35
3 Decadal growth in proportional Non Farm Work
force participation
30
1. Decadal Grown in the population
Census data for each district is downloaded from http://censusindia.gov.in/, the
data in the census report is available village wise and not the Gram Panchayat wise.
First 2 GPs are indentified for forming a tribal cluster considering the population limit
set for tribal cluster. Then the list of villages coming under each GPs are enlisted. The
total population of each village is obtained from Column no. 11(TOT_P) in the census
data. The total population of the cluster is calculated by summing up population of
each villages falling within the proposed cluster. The above exercise is repeated to
find out the total population of the cluster for the year 2001 also. Then the decadal
growth in the population is calculated as follows,
��
�
Decadal growth in population (x) =
Population in 2011-Population in 2001
-------------------------------------------- x 100
Population in 2001
Decadal growth in population=x%
2. Growth in literacy rate
Literacy rate data is obtained from the column no 24 (P_LIT) in census report.
Data related to all the villages coming under a cluster is summed up to get data related
to the cluster.
Then the % of literate population is calculated as,
% of literate population in 2011(m) =
Literate population (Column no 24 P-LIT)
-------------------------------------------- x 100
Total rural population (Column no11TOT-P)
The above exercise is repeated to find out the percentage of literate population in the
year 2001. Let us data for that is (n).
Then the decadal growth in the literate rate(y) =m-n
Growth in literacy rate=y%
3. Decadal growth in Non Farm Work force participation
The non farm work force is calculated from the census dada as follows,
Non Farm Work Force (NF) = MAIN_HH_P (column no. 41) + MAIN_OT_P (column
no. 44) + MARG_HH_P (column no. 56) +
MARG_OT_P (column no. 59)
The total rural workforce (TF) is obtained from the column no 29
(TOT_WORK_P) in the census data. The percentage of workforce engaged in the non
farming activities in calculated as follows,
% of workforce in NF in 2011(x) =
(Non Farm work force NF)
----------------------------------- x 100
Total rural workforce (TF)
The exercise is repeated for the year 2001 also. Let us say percentage of
workforce engaged in the non farming activities in the year 2001 is y.
Then change in the proportional workforce engaged in the non farming
activities(c) is found as c=x-y.

2. Ranking of tribal clusters in Jharkhand
The Ministry of Rural Development –Government of India has provided twenty
potential sub districts for final selection of Rurabn clusters. Based on the criteria and
parameters given by the MoRD all the twenty sub districts are ranked in the ascending
order. In case of tribal clusters Ghatsila block and Gumla block have been ranked as
potential and growth centres for Rurban development.
Though Ministry of Rural Development-Government of India vide letter No D.O. No.
K-110033/13/2015-Rurban dated 2nd
December 2015 permitted to submit only three
clusters but seeing the importance of urbanisation in Jharkhand especially in the
context of mining, industries, tourism and other non farming activities like Tasar, Lac
cultivation, marketing of Non Timber Forest Produce (NTFC) etc., it is felt that all the
20 clusters identified in the Jharkhand state can be approved by the Ministry of Rural
Development-Government of India.
The following is the twenty clusters identified as growth centres in the ascending
order.

3. Tribal clusters identified for development under RURBAN Mission
3.1Dharambahal Cluster Ghatsila Block Purbi Singhbhum Distirct.
The two panchayats of Ghatsila cluster, Dharambahal and Kashida has ten villages, an
area of 14.83 sq km with a population of 5231 according to Census 2011. This area
has a literacy rate of 61% and a decadal literacy rate growth of 19%, while current
non-farm workplace participation accounts for 78%. There has been a stark growth in
non-farm activity participation of 49% during the 2001-2011 period. The cluster lies
in the periphery of the urban township Maubhandar, where Hindustan Copper Limited
digs copper and further extracts pure copper. This is the chief employer or indirect
source of income for the people of Moubhandar and nearby villages. This is Asia’s
first copper mines and world’s second deepest mines.
Ghatshila Block with its headquarter at Ghatshila was established on 04th May 1962 .
The Block is situated on the banks of River Subarnarekha at a distance of
approximately 45 Kms from District Headquarter Jamshedpur. It contains a
station on the main line of the South Eastern Railway. Ghatshila was formerly the
headquarters of the Rajas of Dhalbhum.
Connectivity:-
• By rail - It is a railway station on the Kharagpur-Tatanagar stretch of Howrah-
Mumbai track, 215 km from Howrah are 2781/2782 Ispat Express, 8030/8029
Kurla/ Howrah Express, 2813/2814 Steel Express. It is well connected to 3 Metros
in India namely Mumbai(by Bombay Express), Kolkata(many trains starting from
6AM by Steel Exp. to midnight at 1.15 by Samleshwari Exp) and New Delhi(by
Neelachal & Utkal Exp).
• By road – It is about 240 km from Kolkata. Those travelling from Kolkata first
have to take NH 6 to Bahragora and then take the road to Jamshedpur. Buses
plying between Kharagpur and Jamshedpur pass through Ghatshila. Buses going
from Kolkata to Jamshedpur and Ranchi also pass through Ghatshila.By road
Jamshedpur is 42 km away.
Drivers of Growth
1) Tourism
The town of Ghatshila is located on the bank of the River Subarnarekha (the word
‘Subarnarekha’ means golden streak), and is situated in an undulating forested area. It
has been a popular place frequented mostly by people from West Bengal, who have
been going there for a change of place and climate. The noted Bengali writer Bibhuti
Bhusan Bandopadhyay of Pather Panchali fame was a resident of the city. Raja
Dhaval Deb's built three temples dedicated to Goddess Rankini (an incarnation of
Goddess Durga)one at Rajdoha, another at Jamshedpur and the third
���

at Rhoinibera village near Ghatshila. On the northern fringe of Ghatshila town one
can climb the peak of Fuldungri to get a view of rolling hills and green valleys
fading into the horizon. According to the legend if seperated lovers pray here, they get
their partners back. Visit Burudih lake next to a tribal village settlement of mud huts
painted with vibrant motifs just 6km north of Ghatshila. Notable places in and around
Ghatshila are Dharagiri Falls which is placed 10 km north of Ghatshila where
waterfall is about 20 feet high. Naroa Forest, Mosaboni Mines & Surda Pahar can be a
few potential tourist stops. 8 km from Ghatshila is Galudi, another tourist spot on the
banks of the Subarnarekha. Tatanagar is just a day's trip from Ghatshila. One can go
for long walks in and around the Dalma range near Moubhandar.
Being well connected through railway and road network the natural beauty of this
place becomes a perfect getaway for the weary city-dwellers. With the river
Subarnarekha making its way through the town, if one follows its path along the banks
one will come across many ancient ruins and boulders that have come to become a
part of the geography of the land.

Development of “Dhalbhum Gramin Haat/ Tribal Village” : This could be the go
place to sell cottage industry products like – clothes, several tribal handicrafts -
bamboo related products, earthen artifacts etc. There could be a residential facility
having the tribal feel, serving tribal cuisine like Leto, Charpa Peetha, Gud Peetha,
Sode and Handiya can be a huge hit. This campus can have a museum within with
exhibition shows of photographs and models about the art and culture of this area. A
library with elaborate documentation of books, audios and videos about tribals of

3.2 Karaundi cluster Gumla Block Gumla District
'Karaundi and Telgaon, with a rural population of 12976 cover an area of 38sq.km.
The cluster has seen a decadal population growth of 40.14% and an increase in
literacy rate of 18.85% (2011 census). Telgaon, situated 4 km from Gumla town is
partly forested.
There are seven temples in Telgaon panchayat, the most prominent ones being in
Karamtoli and Garhsaru. Telgaon Dam, constructed 35 years ago, has proved to be
very useful in the panchayat, especially in Telgaon and Belgaon villages.
The major crops grown in the panchayat are rice and wheat. With additional
investment, there is a potential for the production of ginger and lac plantations. Lac
plantations may prove to be lucrative due to its proximity to the lac processing factory
in Gumla, located 4 km from the panchayat.
There's also potential for tourism in the area if the temples are embellished and
beautified. Mitti Moran (kachha) roads have been constructed in all villages under
MGNREGA. These roads can be converted to pucca ones to increase connectivity and
help trade.'

3.3 Dudhbila Cluster Noamundi Block Paschim Singhbhum Distirct
The proposed Kotgarh-Dudhbila cluster located at about 5 Km from Noamundi town.
A State Highway passes through Kotgarh village and connects District Headquater
Chaibasa and Block Headquater Noamundi.
Noamundi town has a large township owned by Tata Steel which serves as the
consumptional backbone of the local agricultural and non-agricultiral economy.
Additionally large number of people work as unskilled labor in Iron Ore mining in
Tata Steel and other mining companies.
One significant resource is a large relatively new lake of about 100 acres called
Katigoda Lake made with the help Tata Steel. The spot 5 Kms from the State
Highway can be developed into a tourist spot if augumented with boating facilities
and a park in the shape of rim around the lake. The Rurban Mission investment may
augment this. Additionally, there is a Shiv mandir near the lake which can be
refurbished.
The occupation is mostly farm based with seasonal labour migration to mines. The
water from Katigoda lake if used to potential may be used for horticulture activities
for sale in Noamundi and Chaibasa market. Large scale fisheries can be encouraged
considering the size of the lake.
The two pronged strategy of tourism and high-value agriculture with linkage to
Noamundi market therefore can help spur fast growth in the cluster. Noamundi is also
known for growth centres and gateway for Steel Authority of India Limited and
Badabil different kinds of mines in Orissa for West Singhbhum district because it
connects railway link between Tatanagar and Badbil(Odissa).The Tata Steel with the
help of mining and forest department organises flower show every year in the month
of the January in the rehabilitated mining area. This Naumudi park is one of the
greatest attraction for the people of West Sighnbhum.

3.4 Mangra Cluster Barwadih Block Latehar Distirct
Mangra cluster in Barwadih block of Latehar district consist of two Gram Panchayats
namely Mangra and Ukamanr. Mangra GP consist of six villages namely Amdiha,
Dorami, Dendehas, Kalyanpur, Mangra and Muridih. Ukamanr GP consist of five
villages namely Ledgain, Luhur, Muru, Paira and Ukamar. Mangra is located 47 KM
towards west from District head quarters Latehar. 157 KM from State capital Ranchi
Mangra is surrounded by Chainpur Block towards North , Satbarwa Block towards
East , Manika Block towards East , Daltonganj Block towards North . Daltonganj ,
Garhwa , Lohardaga , Hussainabad are the nearby Cities to Mangra. Barwadih Jn Rail
Way Station , Mangra Rail Way Station are the very nearby railway stations
toMangra. However Hatia Rail Way Station is major railway station 152 KM near to
Mangra. Total population of the cluster is 14726 and cluster registered the 34.31% of
decadal growth of population. Around 25.74% of the population is engaged in the
nonfarm activities.

3.5 Dhobni Cluster Musabani Block Purbi Singhbhum Distirct
The two panchayats of Musabani cluster, Dhobni and Koilisuta has nine villages, an
area of 38.62 sq km with a population of 11628 according to Census 2011. This area
has a literacy rate of 54.7% and a decadal literacy rate growth of 16 %, while current
non-farm workplace participation accounts for 23%. There has been a growth in non-
farm activity participation of 3.9% during the 2001-2011 periods. The cluster lies in
the periphery of the census town Musabani, is also home to a group of Copper Mines
once run by Hindustan Copper Limited. It is at a distance of 39 km from District
headquarters Jamshedpur.
Geography
Musabani is situated in the lap of Singhbhum Shear Zone, geologically one of the
richest places of Indian Subcontinent. This can be said a Geologist's Paradise. It is
surrounded by mountains and lush green vegetation. Banalopa, located in Musabani
once had the reputation of being second deepest mine after Kolar Gold mine.
Banalopa is the mine where mining of Copper re started for the first time by modern
methods. It is the best weather it has from September to March. The most exciting
feature of this small town is that you can get people from various parts of India as well
as Nepal living side by side.
People and Culture
Musabani is called Mini India for being home to people from different parts of India,
such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Bihar and the
neighboring states of West Bengal and Odisha. There are also good number of Nepalis
whose forefathers came to this part of India for livelihood in the copper mines.
Musaboni also boasts of being home to some Anglo Indian families. The local people
consist of heterogeneous mix of local Oriya and Bengali speakers along with
numerous Scheduled Tribes belonging to Munda branch of Indo-Austric stock like
Santhal, Kol, Mahali, Bhuinya, Munda etc. Mosaboni is also home to Sabars who are
recognized as Primitive Tribe by Constitution of India.
Rankini Devi a deity of Bhuinya origin is considered the patron deity of the region
and is revered by all people of Musabani in high esteem. A shrine dedicated to the
goddess is located in the lap of Dhanjouri Hills, locally called Dhobni near the
Uranium town of Jaduguda around 20 km north. Makar Sankranti is celebrated as
harvest festival by people of this region in which they wear new clothes and throng to
village fairs. Durga Pooja, Diwali, Sohrai, Id, Bakrid, Badadin or Christmas,
Saraswati Pooja and Holi are other important festivals celebrated. Rathayatra, Chariot
festival of lord Jagannatha is another addition to its already vibrant cultural panorama
awakening true nature of universal brotherhood imbibed in every fellow resident of
Musabani.

to Karra rail station and the distance is around 20 km.
Occupational Pattern: The main occupational activity is agriculture. However as
being near to Khunti (district headquarter) people at large scale are involved in
various non farming commercial activities like trading locally produced goods in
Khunti and Ranchi markets. Many are involved in various employments like
electrician, Raj mistri, shopkeeping etc. However still there is a huge gap between
demand and supply of employment opportunities because of which people from this
cluster migrate to nearby towns like Ranchi for better employment opportunities. This
migration is distress migration.
Industries: Khunti has abundant natural resources, particularly the non-timber forest
produce. Lac deserves a special mention has Khunti produces one of the finest quality
Lac in Asia. Near the Birhu cluster there are two big Lac processing industries. If
properly developed, there is a scope for setting up many more Lac processing plants in
the cluster.
Tourism: Tourism, in future can become the biggest employment provider in the
cluster. Khunti is a beautiful place with lots of tourist attraction. There are There are 5
waterfalls situated within 25 km from the cluster. There is one deer park situated 12
km from the cluster and one ancient temple situated 15 km from the cluster.
Market structure: Market is predominantly traditional. Haats are held on fixed days
of the week where non timber forest produce are sold at large scale. Traders from
Ranchi and other places come to buy these produce. Permanent shops are also present
in sizeable number.
Additional investment under RURBAN Mission will help in a number of ways in the
development of the cluster.
Agriculture and allied activities: Funds can be utilized for developing various
farming activities which can provide good return and better job opportunities.
Activities like producing and processing non timber forest produce can be promoted.
Processing centres for Lac, Chiraunji, tamrind etc can be opened. Dairy farming can
be developed and milk chilling center can be opened to provide milk to nearest dairies
in Ranchi. Poultry farming, goat and pig rearing are other livelihood opportunities that
can be developed at large scale in the cluster.
Tourism: Planning can be done to provide support to run tourist places smoothly.
Transport linkages can be provided from the cluster for nearby tourist places as the
cluster is situated near to the district headquarter.
���
�
Industrial activities: This cluster can be a provider of natural resources needed for
the industries situated in Ranchi and Odisha. Thus if the local produces like Lac,
bamboo etc can be exported to industrial areas it will provide a good livelihood
opportunity to the people. For this financial support is needed.
Developmental factor: With an increased focus on the cluster under RURBAN
mission, there will be an improvement in the development indicators like increase in
literacy rate, improvement in MMR etc. Further there will be focus on skill
development of the current workforce. It will not only improve the overall
development of the area but also check the distress migration that is taking place at
large scale in the area. It will also help in developing the areas which surrounds the
cluster.

5.10 Saradhu cluster Tandwa block Chatra district
Tandwa block is the Southern-most block of Chatra bordered by Ranchi District in the
South, Latehar District in the West and Hazaribag District in the East as shown in the
following figures. Although no State or National highway passes through the block, it
is well-connected to major cities such as Hazaribag and Ranchi. Moreover, the block
has huge resources of coal and the increased mining activity has promoted its growth
significantly in recent years.

Tandwa Block
Following figure shows the location of cluster (marked in red) in Tandwa block and

Saradhu.
���
Fig 5.10B PanchayatWise Map of Tandwa Block with Cluster marked in Red
Cluster has been finalized based on the parameters mentioned for calculating the
score. The other important reasons for the selection of the cluster apart from its high
score are:
1. Block headquarters is situated in the cluster itself facilitating planning,
development and availability of administration.
2. Mining activity has been initiated in the cluster in 2015 by Amprapali Coal
Company
3. Upcoming NTPC’s North Karanpura Power Plant with a capacity of 1980 MW
that is expected to be operational by 2017 is situated within the cluster.
Though increased mining activity has led to higher population growth and increased
non-farm work force, it did not result in proportionate improvement in infrastructure.
The NTPC Power Plant in near future could fuel further growth in the cluster.
Absence of planned development may lead to urban chaos, development of slums,
increased inequalities along with growth in crime rate.

How RURBAN Mission can accelerate growth?
In this regard, components of RURBAN Mission such provision of piped water, street
lighting, sanitation, village streets and drains, inter-village road connectivity, solid and
liquid waste management would help in addressing the current infrastructure deficit
leading to sustainable growth.
In addition, the block is affected by Left-Wing Extremism. The other components of
RURBAN Mission such as Skill development, Upgrading school/higher education
facilities, Digital Literacy, improving governance through citizen centric services/ e-
gram connectivity would go a long way in addressing the major challenge that is being
faced in the cluster. It would also address the issue of inter-state migration that is very
high in Chatra district.
Further, the cluster is known for production of high-quality tomatoes that are exported
to Kolkata. The middlemen benefitted the denying the poor farmers their remunerative
price. Hence, development of Agro processing industry (related to Tomato) coupled
with skill development in the same, and NTPC power plant that guarantees
uninterrupted power supply – could really prove promising for the growth of food
processing industry. It would generate employment and could have far-reaching
effects on the surrounding areas.

The clusters have locational advantage due to their proximity to the transport corridors
and existing urban areas. All proposed clusters are located adjacent to the highways
which ensure easy accessibility of market for products from these places. The
closeness of these clusters to the urban area can be harnessed for productions of goods
and services are in high demand in those urban areas. The proportional workforce
engaged in the non farming activities in these places is high. The skill and
entrepreneurship development activities can be taken up under the Rurban mission to
enhance the earning capacity of people. There are some thematic clusters too like
tourism, vegetable production. If the investment can be channelled to these potential
sectors then it can lead to better developmental outcomes.
