To live in a village or town depends on one’s occupation and the facilities one wishes to have. If one is a farmer, he must, of course, live in a countryside or in a village. But if he seeks employment elsewhere, towns offer better chances. Again, living in a village or a town is a matter of preference. Those who prefer peace and silence, may choose villages. Generally, towns are noisy and crowded. Each has got its own advantages as well as disadvantages.
Take the case of a village first. A village is less crowded and there is more breathing space. One can enjoy Nature in its pure form. There is no hurry or bustle of a city or a town. In the village, one is not a slave to the clock. If the village is a prosperous one and the man himself owns a few hectares of land where he can grow his own food, then the village is the better place. On the other hand, if the village is underdeveloped with no facilities for a healthy living, then the village is not desirable. Because many of these things are wanting in a village, people go to towns for setting up homes.
Towns, as a rule, score many good points over villages. There are educational, medical and transport facilities. Essential things are easily available because there are big markets. The employment prospects are also better in a town than in a village.
For those who seek entertainment, towns have cinema houses and entertainment centres. All other facilities like banking, postal and telephone are easily available in a town.
But it is not all rosy in a town. With its dense settlement and pollution, town life is a hell. The only reason that draws people to towns is the employment opportunities. If villages are modernized with some primary facilities, then villages may be preferred to towns.
