hello kangkan, well i would say that though u r talking in very mathematical terms...
i would rather write my opinion in words only 
--the thing is being a delhite i knw what delhi means to ppl like us, u can take my example, a DU graduate had to move to Punjab for 2 years to do masters; and even being a sardarni, i found it really hard to study and adjust there for two years, coz i really missed my lovely city and frnds and family here.., here, i would also like to quote a famous saying ''comfort zone is good but nothing really grows over there'' , yes, ppl who get what they want at a place they want are lucky, but believe that god has kept every good thing for others in some or other way. You cant always have best of both worlds. Pls dont mind here. :)
-- Now coming to course,see for MA jnu sss is really good, even better than MSc igidr if u want to go to academia. But here we are comparing masters at both places. But u hv a choice between Mphil(a higher level than masters) and masters, so just a city cant be a deciding or comparing factor. Also, i know you are a very intelligent and capable person(ps- i have been following this forum from quite some time
) but u cant always be sure that you will get admission in Mphil/Phd again whee currently you have got after two years. I think you should go for Mphil,. Tell me how many ppl get a chance to research on dev studies topics at such a prestigious institute. IGIDR is really a very good place for research oriented ppl located in the financial capital. Its faculy is really well known. Plus u get to work with amazing organization even when you are research student there. JNU looses a point in this case. You dont get to work while you are research scholar. They dont allow that. This is what i have heard from one of my teachers.
--And one more thing, dev. studies are definately related to eco, in fact applications of economics in a country like India deal with development aspects majorly, so u should also see ur interests, , ie , if u want to do research in pure eco subjects(go for MA SS JNU then and after that Mphil in pure eco) or if u r interested in researching abt developmental aspects(which have more wide choices than pure eco research topics) using statistical tools and your economic knowledge. I have gone through igidr mphil course on their website and i feel it is really a good one, that even i am thinking to go for dev eco research and applying there next year. One of my teachers said that in countries like India, development eco as more need and relevance than any other stream of economics.
--Plus u hv choice between :- if u want to go for lectureship in pure eco subjects or developmental eco . Here i would suggest you to talk to to current PHD scholars and teachers in IGIDR. I guess you must have sen, their nos. have been given on the site. I have a teacher in my Masters, who did all his studies in dev. eco. after grad, but he teaches env. eco and macro eco to undergrad students and dev. eco to masters student.So, its better to talk to teachers in IGIDR (who are experienced than us on this matter) that u can get a lecturereship job in eco or not after IGIDR
All the beat for your choice. :)
