1. “As opposed to conventional urban sprawls, the new urbanization is rapidly incorporating villages into its fold.” Elaborate this statement in the context of the growth of census towns in 2011 census.


Approach:


First, give some facts / statistics from the census to ‘show’ that the given statement in the question is indeed correct.

Then explain ‘what’ are census towns and how are they classified.

Then briefly explain ‘why’ census towns have indeed grown at faster pace.

The question doesn’t demand a response about the constraints faced by census towns, so there is no need to go into that aspect.
