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.
