INTRODUCTION
Village life reflects the rural lifestyle and
city life shows the urban lifestyle. Life in both rural and urban areas has
its own plus points and problems. One is quite different from each other.
Traditionally, India is a predominantly rural country as Mahatma
Gandhi had said, “The real India lives in villages”. Though India is
mainly a land of villages, there are many cities as well in the country. 
Life in these big cities is quite different from life in a village .
In big cities, there are good arrangements
for education. The big college even universities are available.  There are
also a very large number of school both government and private in the
big city.  These arrangements do not exist in small towns and villages.

The natural beauty of the villages in India is

simply eye-catching. The lush green fields capped around by flowers
and spread an intoxicating fragrance. Birds chirp around merrily in
fields, barns and village homes. Simplicity is the hallmark of life in
villages.

Unfortunately, the search for jobs and the

glare of material comforts and facilities is leading to large-scale
migration of people from rural to urban areas. Though, now villages
in the country are now also advancing in terms of standard of living.

`
Urbanisation is taking place at a fast pace; electricity, piped water,
concrete roads, telephone/mobile phone, computers, education and
medical care are accessible facilities in many parts of rural India these
days. Farmers are now using modern agricultural implements, and in
place of oxen, they are ploughing the fields with tractors.

In city life is very costly. People have to

live with a lot of pomp and show. A simple life as in the villages is
almost impossible in the city. Besides, the cities are over-crowded and it
is very hard for people to get suitable accommodation. People in the city
do not have much sympathy with others even with neighbours. The
sympathy and close interdependence which is marked in the village’s
life is entirely lacking in the city.

Thus, life in villages and in cities presents

two contrasting pictures. There is positive as well as negative aspects of
both. Therefore, it is up to the individual to make the most of it
irrespective of the rural or urban setting that one lives in. We the
students going to study the mind of every single individual’s thought
and their own interest directly and indirectly.

We made a questioner with 10 indirect

questions with each about village or city. We classify the survey report
under the basis of age and gender.

`
We could observe that boys or girls under age 18 have a strong mind-
set that city is better than village from the direct questions.
But these students still have an affection towards village which can be
observed the Indirect question pie charts. Boys have more affection
towards village than girls in this age.
We can observe that women and men above age 20 have strong
affection towards village than city.

Sampling And Data Collection

As a team, we had put a lot of efforts on shaping our report on this
enlightening topic. We used data collected from students and internet
as our raw materials. After surfing and collecting enough details from
podcasts and other programs, we condensed our points and sorted out
the different ways to bridge the gap between the thoughts of different
people.
Conclusion
This research shows that people still have a love towards village but
they build a fake wall pretending that city is better than village. But
we are not intended to say that village is better than city that’s not the
true, every individual have their own thoughts and mind set. Our aim
is to merge different mindset toward this village and city debut which
is started many years ago. Village or city it depends on your mind set.
Limitations Of The Study
 This research is commonly based on personal preference,
choices and it doesn’t focus on any particular topic.

Author’s Contribution
San Suga Dhev was the project leader. Mohammed Riaz Afridi,
Mugesh I Ram, Revanth and Guru Prasath were responsible for
implementation and data collection. San Suga Dhev and Surya
Prakash were involved in the final write-up of the report.

`
Student’s Reflection
A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step with this motto we
carried our topic for 'A portrait of the lady' which was chosen by our
team leader San. It was a new experience when we took surveys from
various people. We came to know about various people's mindsets
through the survey. There was great team coordination between us,
everyone was very cooperative we had a nice time while doing this
project though it had many ups and downs
