Main Body

Socio cultural landscape of peri-urban regions: (Mixed impact)

① Villages in peri urban part of cities (e.g. Delhi outskirts)

② Exposure to cosmopolitan values → advanced mindset

③ Rise of urban slums → mostly in peri urban areas

④ Displacement of people → land acquired → promoted inequality

⑤ Change in occupation profiles: from agriculture to service (e.g. Maradan in Bangalore)

⑥ This change in values: village → to urban life → change in clothing, food preferences

Progress without hardware: This backlash (Economic empowerment but low social empowerment → rise of criminals → Delhi outer villages) → This operation of organized crimes.

Agriculture → shift to peri agriculture → horticulture oriented as (Market society) formulated.

Liberation for women (SDGs) → exposed to ideas, jobs in cities.

Solves for (Caste Segregation) - government in these areas.

Indigenous culture worked out & is herd mentality.
