In some states, the growth rate of the rural population declined.
In Kerala, this shift was particularly pronounced due to education and urbanization.
Here, there was an increased inclination among people towards urban areas.
High literacy rates and better healthcare facilities also contributed to this trend.
Consequently, a decline was recorded in the rural growth rate.
Therefore, Kerala serves as a prime example in this context.
