Poverty in India is very broad, according to estimates, there is a third part of the world’s poor population. In 2010, the World Bank reported that 32.7% of India’s people live below the international poverty line of US $ 1.25 and 68.7% of people spend less than US $ 2 daily.
Poverty figures for the year 2009-2010 of the Planning Commission say that during the last five years, poverty has come down from 37.2 per cent to 29.8 per cent in the country.
That is, now 28 rupees in the city 65 paise per day and 22 rupees in villages 42 rupees can not be said to be poor. According to the new formula, in cities 859 rupees 60 paise in the month and 672 rupees in rural areas, the person who spent more than 80 paise is not poor.
This can once again cause the controversy that started after the affidavit filed by the Planning Commission in the Supreme Court. In this, the Commission mentioned the poverty line of Rs 32 per day in 2004-05.
At present, 29.8 percent of Indian population lives below the poverty line. In the poor category, those people whose daily income is less than Rs 28.65 in cities and Rs 22.24 in villages. Do you think that this amount is enough for a day in a country where food prices are skyrocketing? This makes it clear that the number of people living below poverty line is very high. According to the statistical data, earning 30 rupees per day is also not poor, but is he not facing the same difficulties of life?
Even after 70 years of independence, millions of people in the country are forced to starve, the country’s governments have done nothing after independence. We want to change this. Let us fight with India People’s Army Party, liberate the country from poverty.
