As per 2001
census, out of a total of 220 urban centers in Rajasthan, 20 Class I cities account for 57%
of the urban population. Even within the class I cities, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Kota,
Ajmer and Udaipur account for 70% of the total population of class I cities. It is
important to note that Rajasthan has only 31% of the urban population living in urban
agglomerations as compared to other neighbouring states that means a smaller
percentage of urban population is participating in the overall growth being achieved in
urban areas. Even percentage of urban population is much lower than the national
average. The level of urbanization in Rajasthan was 22.88% in 1991 and in reached to
23.39 % in 2001 census. Rajasthan has witnessed the slow growth of industrial
development over time, with very less workforce engaged in the gainful secondary
activity (manufacturing sector), though it is a mineral-rich state. It was seen that
economy of Rajasthan experienced sectorial transformation over the time. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : RABIUL ANSARY , AKHTAR HOSSAIN AND BIRBAL SAHA, (2013).
