Note: This list of potential million plus cities is based on a demographic exercise of population projections. It may be noted that all these cities have shown evidence of economic and demographic momentum.

conceded that to some extent, these cities have acted as counter-magnets to the existing million-plus cities but if we do not want these cities to meet the fate of the existing million-plus cities, state intervention is called for. In short, while every effort should be made to give the backup to these cities, steps must also be taken to see that migration to these cities is contained.

Note: This list excludes the cities and town already listed under National Priority Cities and also under Table. A. The intention of declaring such cities as State Priority Cities is to give an impetus to the growth process by supp>orting the infrastructure facilities in such cities and thereby helping them to expand the economic bone so that the need for migration to the big cities is lessened. In short, there will be migration within the region and this will contribute to positive urbanisation.

Firstly, the office of the Chief Minister of the State [Translation] may be renamed as the Prime Minister as it was previously .
