Mitigating Rural-Urban Migration

Transportation infrastructure has the potential to reduce rural-urban migration by creating more opportunities within rural agricultural regions. With improved connectivity, farmers can access better resources, markets, and employment opportunities within their own communities. This reduces the need to migrate to urban areas in search of work, helping maintain a stable agricultural workforce. Better transport links also encourage rural entrepreneurs to set up businesses, such as agri-processing units, within rural areas. This supports local economies and helps retain agricultural talent, promoting balanced growth across rural and urban sectors.
