It accounts for almost 1.53 per cent of India’s geographical area and 2.37 per cent of its population. State represents a unique example of a fast developing economy based on agriculture despite all physical and developmental odds. State is credited with ushering in the green revolution and white revolution in the country. It today contributes nearly 40% of the wheat and 60% of rice procured for distribution through the public distribution system. An agro-based and agro-oriented industrialization is another prominent feature of the state economy. No less commendable are the efforts to strength the infrastructure, particularly irrigation and power. The cumulative effect of all this is manifest in the high per capita income of the state, a position which Punjab has been holding for most of the years since its formation in 1966. 1.1.2 Development in the state of Punjab has been the outcome of the interplay of a variety of factors including physical, political, economic, demographic and geographic. Being a border state, both external and internal changes have influenced the path of development. Historically, Punjab has experienced many upheavals and turmoils, which, in turn, have influenced building brave and unique character of Punjabis and opened its path of development. The contours of administrative map of Punjab have undergone extraordinary changes in the past. The nomenclature ‘Punjab’ was widely used during the reign of Akbar (A.D. 1556-1605). It was known as the Kingdom of Lahore during the reign of Ranjit Singh (1700-1839). The British occupied it in 1849 and merged Delhi and the Hissar division of the former Northwest Province (now Uttar Pradesh) with Punjab in 1858. In 1901, Punjab’s border districts situated across the Indus were taken away to form the Northwest Frontier Province. Subsequently, Delhi was separated from Punjab. 1.1.3 At the time of the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947. Punjab was bifurcated into two parts: West Punjab (Pakistan) and East Punjab (India). Of its 3, 59,179 square kilometers and 29 districts, only 1, 52,649 square kilometers and 13 districts were left with Indian Punjab. The two Punjab’s were partitioned on religious 5 grounds. The most fertile, prosperous and developed western part went to Pakistan and the relatively backward eastern part remained in India. 1.1.4 With massive migration, post-partition Punjab was faced with the daunting task of providing basic infrastructure necessary to accommodate 40 lakh displaced persons. They were put in refugee camps, institutions and other available structures in insanitary conditions. The immediate task was to create the infrastructure to accommodate the refugee population. New towns were constructed and economic projects initiated for the resettlement of refugees from rural areas. The pattern, established during the period, has continued to guide the path of development in the state. 1.1.5 In 1956, at the time of the reorganization of states, the former PEPSU territory was merged with Punjab. In 1966, the state was further reorganized under the Reorganization Act 1966. There was a strong demand for the reorganization of the state on a linguistic basis so that satisfaction of regional sentiments could be harmonized with the process of development. The Punjabi speaking areas were carved out of the erstwhile Punjab on 1 November 1966. The Hindi speaking areas in the north were merged with Himachal Pradesh. The southern Hindi speaking areas were constituted into a new state of Haryana. The Punjabi speaking state was created in 1966, with 11 districts, including Rupnagar. The reorganization reduced Punjab to about two-fifths the size attained after the merger of PEPSU in 1956. This was one-seventh the area of Punjab before Independence. The state now is a linguistic unit inhabited by Punjabi speaking people with 20 districts. 1.2 RAPID URBAN GROWTH 1.2.1 Punjab is urbanizing rapidly and its future seems to be urban. With urbanization standing at 33.95%, Punjab is ranked fifth major urbanized state of India after Tamil Nadu (43.86%), Maharashtra (42.40%), Gujarat (37.35%) and Karnataka (33.98%) and most urbanized states in the northwest region of the country. The percentage of urban population in Punjab has been on the rise continuously. 1.2.2 Looking at the growth of urban population vis-à-vis total population of state during last century (1991-2001) it has been observed that while total population of the state merely increased approximately 3 times (7.5 to 24.28 millions), during this very period urban population recorded enormous increase of 9 times (0.9 to 8.25 million) 6 indicating a sharp rise in urban population. However, during the same period rural population grew only by 2.5 times (6.61 to 16.2 million). In 1901 when every 8th person was an urbanite, in 2001 every 3rd person came to live in the cities/ towns.
