In India, the rural to urban migration rate is very high. This implies that while more and more people are migrating from rural areas to towns and cities, neither are urban areas expanding enough, nor are the rural areas developing.

The main reason for this is that agriculture based villages provide only seasonal employment, and there is lack of other employment opportunities, condemning people to a state of perpetual poverty.

Thus, cities are getting overburdened and municipalities are not being able to provide enough accommodation. Therefore, the migrants are forced to settle in small colonies of make-shift homes, leading to spread of slums such as J.J. Colonies of Delhi and Dharawi of Mumbai.
