Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other one is Reason (R): Assertion (A): Unplanned growth of urbanisation in India leads to expansion of slums, decrease in standard of life and environmental degradation. Reason (R): Lack of employment opportunities in rural areas is the main reason for people migrating to cities. In the context of the above two statements, which among the following is correct?
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not a correct explanation of (A)
The Assertion is true: unplanned urban growth in Indian cities has led to the spread of slums, poor living conditions and severe environmental stress on land, water and air.
The Reason is also true, since rural unemployment and underemployment do push migrants toward urban areas in search of livelihood.
However, the expansion of slums and environmental decline is caused primarily by inadequate urban planning, weak housing supply and poor civic services, not directly by rural joblessness. So the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion.
Hence, both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not a correct explanation of (A).
