The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) has reported a reduction in inequality in both rural and urban areas of India between 2011-12 and 2022-23. The Household Consumer Expenditure (HCE) report is a comprehensive analysis of consumption patterns and provides valuable insights into the economic dynamics of India. However, the decrease in inequality is more pronounced in urban areas than in rural areas, highlighting the varied nature of economic development across regions. The HCE report provides data on consumption expenditures for major states, revealing regional variations in economic well-being and consumption patterns within India. Overall, the NSSO report offers crucial insights into India’s economic scenario, highlighting both progress and areas where further efforts are needed to address economic disparities.
