This paper aims to analyse the spatial pattern of rural growth centres in Sagar district with the help of nearest neighbour analysis. Rural growth centre is acts as a service centre, which has a potential for further development, and it provides services, goods and facilities for its own population and its surrounding area, which fulfilling their required needs and basic amenities for better livelihood. It conceived as a point of attraction for the people who otherwise would go to large congested urban areas. The present study is an attempt to find out the hierarchical order of settlements as rural growth centres, rural growth point, service centre and rural centres in the Sagar district. To find out this hierarchy, the composite score method has been applied for 40 selected socio-economic amenities. This study is based on secondary data, which are mainly collected from District census handbook 2011of Sagar district. The Social Amenity index is used to calculate weightage value of each facility. The nearest neighbour analysis method is used to found Rn value and deciding the spatial distribution pattern of rural growth centres in the study area. Total 38 Rural Growth centres are identified in the study region. As per the nearest neighbour analysis the Rn value is 0.151, which shows that the RGC’s are distributed in clustered pattern. The result reflects there is wide spread disparities in the block wise distribution of rural growth centres. So, there is an urgent need to propose some new Growth centres in the unserved gap areas to provide socio-economic activities to all the local people. It will be definitely slowdowns the migration from their surrounding habitat to larger urban areas, because rural centre work as a point of attraction of services. This idea of centre places is based on selectivity on the one hand and decentralization of social amenities on the other. Therefore an overall development of all villages within the region can be ensured in an integrated way at minimum cost in terms of money, time and effort.
