Rurbanization, Socio cultural Infrastructure, Gap analysis, Uchchal village

Today world is growing rapidly and the living standards of society is improving due to development in each and every field. Due to evolution of new affordable technologies world has become small and faster. Despite availability of many infrastructural facilities, the growth in population has outpaced all efforts of development so far. Slow pace of development in villages and pursuit of better life style has led to huge migration from villages to cities. For most villages on one hand some essential infrastructural facilities like children playground, public garden, etc. have been over looked and on the other hand provided infrastructural facilities like drinking water, drainage, etc. have become insufficient. In the present study, Rurbanization of Uchchal village of the Tapi district is carried out. Efforts have been made in this work to identify and plan some of the new infrastructural facility as well as up gradation of existing facilities as per the needs of future population. Selection of infrastructural facilities has been made based on the most urgent needs of people as well as environmental protection and modernization.
