iii. Redistribution of migrant streams
iv. Making laws that will restrict the entry of migrants

• A. Only (i)
• B. Both (i) and (ii)
• C. (i), (ii) and (iii)
• D. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i), (ii) and (iii)

Poverty is one of the main reasons for migration. The government should introduce policies for effective poverty reduction. Policies on rural development would reduce migration into the cities to a great extent. A majority of the migration happens from villages to cities. Therefore, measures to redirect migration should also be taken.
