Gurgaon the second largest city of Haryana has been on the faster pace of development and emerged as the industrial and financial hub during the last two decades. The population of Gurgaon has increased from 100877 in 1981 to 876824 in 2011 registering a growth of more than eight times in the last three decades. Two reasons are responsible for this rapid urban growth. Firstly the mechanisation of agricultural sector and Green Revolution resulted in surplus farm‑labour and output which were pushed to urban areas and secondly it is an important attraction for industrialists to establish their industries which is in the close vicinity of international market.
