Free education and health care services to people in rural areas are helpful in controlling urbanization.
In conclusion, these days' urbanization is increasing in a fast rate. This can be controlled to a large extent by improving the standards of villages. Government has a great role in controlling the migration of people from agricultural areas to urban areas.
