Rurban clusters, are cluster of geographically contiguous villages with a population of about 25000 to 50000 in plain and coastal areas and a population of 5000 to 15000 in desert, hilly or tribal areas.

As far as practicable, clusters of villages would follow administrative convergence units of Gram Panchayats and shall be within a single Block for administrative convenience

These clusters would be well delineated areas with planned layouts prepared following the planning norms (as laid down in the State Town and Country Planning Acts/similar Central or State statutes as may be applicable), which would be duly notified by the State. These plans would be finally integrated with the District Plans/Master Plans as the case may be.
