what is the minimum calorie intake decided by the planning commission for urban and rural area
Answers
The nutritional requirement recommends a national norm of 2,400 kilo calories a day for rural areas and 2,100 calories a day for urban areas, the difference being attributed to the lower rate of physical activity in urban areas.
*According to official thinking, if you consume less than this level of calories, you are suffering from under-nutrition.
*Minimum calorie required to come above poverty line is 2400 in rural and 2100 in urban.
*A calorie is a unit of energy and it equals about 4.2J where 1J=1Kgm2s-2.
The answer is 2400(rural areas) and 2100(urban areas), which is counted as the minimum calorie intake for urban and rural areas as decided by the planning commission.
The difference between calorie intake is decided because urban area people leads more sedentary life style hence consumption of calorie is lesser than rural people who are more prone on physical activities.
