Annually, we see a great number of migration of people from rural areas into the urban centers of our country. This phenomenon is on the rise because the people of rural areas find it hard to get satisfactory facilities of education, health, electricity, roads, jobs, etc, in their villages. This migration from rural to urban areas puts further pressure on the already squeezed resources of the cities, in terms of education, health, jobs, roads, availability of water, electricity, gas, housing, transportation, etc.
The government needs to provide the basic needs of life to the people of rural areas in the form of quality hospitals, good schools, suitable jobs, and other basic requirements such as roads, gas, electricity, etc.
