Answer:

Roughly two thirds

Step-by-step explanation:

According to most recent data provided by international organizations like the World Bank, and also by the Indian government, roughly two thirds of India's population lives in rural areas. more specifically, 65.9%. (two thirds of a 100% is 66.7%).

We can see that the majority of population in India is still rural, but this is estimated to change in the near future. In the following decades, more and more Indians will leave the countryside and move to urban areas, seeking better economic opportunities. This will create an upward trend in the rate of urbanization in India.
