Abstract
Urbanization is a form of social transformation from traditional rural societies to modern urban communities. And migration is the major factor of urbanization. In fact, the processes of urbanization & migration are highly positively correlated. This paper tries to examine and analyze the trend and pattern of urbanization vis-à-vis migration, with particular reference to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Migration tables and urbanisation data extracted from the Census of India have been used for the study. The analysis shows that there is the great intra-district variation of urbanization in Jammu and Kashmir.
