The level of urbanisation and economic development are related with settlement. An increase in concentration of population at one place yield many positive externalities increasing productivity and efficiency. The relationship between the two is extensively researched in many cross country studies and cross country income differentials are examined , the level and growth of urbanisation and that directly related with settlement. The empirical evidences suggested that relationship between urbanisation and development changes with changes in the stage of development .Sikkim is a comparatively less urbanised but still around 60.0 percent of total GDP is generated in urban areas. The objective of the present paper is to analyse the relationship between growth in level of urbanisation and settlement of economic performance in last four decades in Sikkim.The paper found that present level of state per capita income has positive correlation with level of urbanisation as it is directly related to settlement. With regard to the relationship between growth of per capita income and growth of level of urbanisation the relationship is found insignificant during 1980-1990 but significant during the last four decade of 2000.
