The first report had concentrated on 53 metropolitan cities of India.

This third report focuses on Towns of India (population less than 1 lakh). It aims to undertake an in-depth analysis of the demography, socio-economic indicators, and basic infrastructure in UAs/towns with populations of less than 1,00,000, studying their size class variations. The study has dealt separately with the status of slums in towns and status of census towns in detail.
The report is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 outlines the aims and objectives of the study. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are focused on the demography, basic infrastructure and socio-economic analyses of towns in India. Chapter 5 deals with case studies of two similar sized towns, namely, Raisen in Madhya Pradesh and Kurseong in West Bengal. The case studies attempt to compare these two towns with respect to their demography, economy, status of basic infrastructure, housing and social indicators. Chapter 6 deals with the status of census towns and statutory towns. The policy conclusions that emerge from the analysis are presented in Chapter 7. Also, the towns have been categorised in terms of their status of basic infrastructure for informed decision making/informing policy.
