Question

List three ways in which rural urban communities may be distinguished.

Answer 1

A rural community differs from an urban community in the following three ways:

1. Occupation: In rural areas, the main occupation of people is agriculture. Some may also engage in non-agricultural activities. But in urban areas, people are mostly engaged in non-agricultural activities like trade, commerce and manufacturing.
2. Population: The population in urban areas is much higher than rural areas.
3. Social division: In rural areas, people are divided on the basis of caste; however, in the urban areas, people are divided on the basis of class.
