For rural areas it is 2400 calories per person per day and for urban areas it's 2100 calories per day per person. This is because the people living in urban areas have less physical work and hence less calorie intake is required.

Answer 2

The planning commission ruled for 2400 in rural areas for taking calories per person, and 2100 calories in urban areas for per person.

Basically in rural areas it is very needed. There are many poor people who even can't eat properly for financial condition. So the planning commission it started mainly for rural areas. Urban areas also needed for this.
