Which of the following is a characteristic of Indian rural settlements?
Which of the following is a characteristic of Indian rural settlements?
निम्नलिखित में से भारतीय ग्रामीण बस्तियों की एक विशेषता क्या हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Limited access to infrastructure/अवसरंचना तक सीमित पहुंच
Solution / व्याख्या:
Indian rural settlements generally have limited access to infrastructure such as roads, healthcare, education, sanitation, and transportation facilities.
Rural areas mainly depend on primary activities like:
- Agriculture
- Animal husbandry
- Fishing
- Forestry
They usually have lower population density compared to urban areas and fewer modern facilities.
भारतीय ग्रामीण बस्तियों की एक प्रमुख विशेषता अवसंरचना तक सीमित पहुंच है, जैसे:
- सड़कें
- स्वास्थ्य सेवाएँ
- शिक्षा
- परिवहन
- स्वच्छता सुविधाएँ
ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों की अर्थव्यवस्था मुख्य रूप से कृषि और प्राथमिक गतिविधियों पर आधारित होती है।
Why other options are wrong / अन्य विकल्प गलत क्यों हैं:
❌ High population density → यह अधिकतर शहरी क्षेत्रों की विशेषता है।
❌ Tall buildings → ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में सामान्यतः ऊँची इमारतें नहीं होतीं।
❌ Economic activities mainly based on tertiary sector → ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में मुख्यतः प्राथमिक क्षेत्र होता है, न कि तृतीयक क्षेत्र।
Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य:
About 65% of India’s population still lives in rural areas (approx.).
भारत की बड़ी आबादी आज भी ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में रहती है।
Types of rural settlements:
- Clustered settlements
- Dispersed settlements
- Semi-clustered settlements
