Better to be urban / Rural – Urban Divide

Of course, there was never any doubt, but here are figures to prove.

As per 66th round of survey carried out by National Sample Survey Office ( NSSO ) of India, average  URBAN monthly per capita consumption expenditure ( MPCE ) were higher than RURAL MPCE as follows :

 
In Punjab  ……………………  28 %  higher

In Kerala  …………………….  31 %  higher

In Rajasthan  ………………   41 %  higher




And just as expected, the expenditure on “ food “ is :


In urban India  …………….  44.4 % of  MPCE

In rural India  ……………..   57 %    of  MPCE



No wonder there is a huge migration of rural folks to cities.
