Better to be urban [ To beat Rural Poverty ? ]

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

As per 66^th 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 :

Ø  In Punjab  ……………………  28 %  higher

Ø  In Kerala  …………………….  31 %  higher

Ø  In Rajasthan  ………………   41 %  higher

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

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

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

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