​Consider the following factors.

a) Extreme climatic conditions in the Himalayas and the Indian Thar Desert.

b) Lack of medical facilities in rural areas.

c) Availability of employment in metro cities.

d) Poverty in rural India.

e) Education facilities in urban areas.

Which of the given factors are NOT pull factor(s) for migration in India?​

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) Only a, b, and d.

Here's why:

• Pull factors are those that attract people to a particular area. They "pull" people in.
• Push factors are those that drive people away from a particular area. They "push" people out.

Let's analyze the given factors:

• a) Extreme climatic conditions in the Himalayas and the Indian Thar Desert: This is a push factor, as people would likely want to move away from harsh climates.
• b) Lack of medical facilities in rural areas: This is also a push factor, as people may seek better healthcare elsewhere.
• c) Availability of employment in metro cities: This is a pull factor, as people are drawn to cities with job opportunities.
• d) Poverty in rural India: This is a push factor, as people may seek better economic prospects in urban areas.
• e) Education facilities in urban areas: This is a pull factor, as people may want to access better education for themselves or their children.

Therefore, only factors a, b, and d are NOT pull factors for migration in India. They are push factors that encourage people to leave rural areas.
