Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.
Statement (A) : Investment in non-farm activities in rural areas can reduce the rural urban migration.
Statement (R) : Migration increases during particular season when there are no agricultural activities in rural areas.
Answer: A
The answer is Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Statement R is true: much rural migration is seasonal. When there is no agricultural work between sowing and harvest, or after the harvest, people move to towns and cities in search of wages.
That is why statement A holds. If there is investment in non-farm activities in rural areas, such as dairying, small industry, food processing, shops and services, people can earn during the slack season without leaving home. The seasonal gap in farm work described in R is the cause of migration that such investment removes, so R explains A.
