According to Minister of State (Independent Charge), Statistics and Program Implementation, Rao Inderjit Singh, the information on migration is collected from the Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS) conducted by the Ministry during the period July 2020 to June 2020. 2021.
The percentage of internal migrants has been deciphered by four types of migratory flows from the countryside to the city: from rural to urban areas, from urban to rural areas and from urban to urban areas.
In the case of rural to rural migration, migration was 55 percent, while city to urban migration was 15.9 percent depending on the survey period, the minister said.
According to the Economic Survey 2023-24, more than 40 per cent of the population is expected to live in urban areas by 2030. This estimate has been made based on studies and reports by NITI Aayog.
Meanwhile, the revival of rural spending has turned out to be one of the bright spots in the evolution of demand conditions, according to the central bank. With rural spending outpacing urban segments, the rural-urban gap is narrowing, as highlighted by NSSO's recent monthly per capita consumption expenditure (MPCE) survey. According to the report, rural recovery is yielding better results for companies in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment, with improvements in earnings boosting stock valuations.
Meanwhile, the Ministry said that several measures have been taken to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of data collected by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). It includes adopting a scientific sampling design and providing structured sets of instructions to field officials to achieve uniformity in concept and definition. Furthermore, a multi-level training system is adopted to ensure thorough training of primary field workers, supervisors and all officials associated with a survey. Supervisory staff conduct periodic inspection of field work and scrutiny of data to ensure data quality.
