[Talk-in] Classification of Indian places

[Devdatta Tengshe]

This link gives the criteria:

http://censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov-results/paper2/data_files/kerala/13-concept-34.pdf

For a town, the population criteria is quite small. To be called a town, it
should meet all the following criteria:
1)Population exceeds 5,000
2)At least 75% of male working population is employed outside the
agricultural sector
3)Minimum population density of 400 persons per km
