Poverty Level Of India?

Question

Poverty Level Of India
India is a big and great country. I've been living there since a long time, but, we are hiding all the major populations, the Poverty. India is supposed to be the only country with the poverty level of 27%. What should be done to dealt with this, it is neither the cleanest or even in the same league as clean. If you look at pictures of Mumbai and compare them to others you will the notice the difference. People arent on the streets. We may be the smart, but we arent helping India in any way.
State solutions for this situation.

Answer 1

Take all the money that the politicians have amassed over the years (wonder what the total worth of the gandhi family is ...) and ensure a transparent financial allocation and project implementation system.

There ..so easy wasnt it ...:) We both know its NOT going to happen with the current crop of politicians and only if we get up and fight for it will there be any changes...

Btw, India as a nation is supposed to have a high percentage of youth...so a revolution should not be so difficult.

Answer 2

Abraham George named his school in India the Haven of Peace, and that is exactly what he provides for the impoverished rural society of India.

He has dedicated his life to improving the social and gender-based injustices in India through a non-profit organization that he founded: the George Foundation.

George was born and raised in India and served in the Indian military for 10 years. He received his doctorate from New York University and founded a financial software applications company.

George gave a speech in Huntsman Hall last night about his goal for the rural, impoverished parts of India -- improving literacy rates, health care and the work force.

Despite encouraging figures from the Indian government -- such as the fact that only 35 percent of Indian people live in poverty -- George detailed the extreme pervasiveness of poverty in rural India.

The government statistics are "not true," he said. "One dollar a day is considered to be the poverty level." However, India instead judges the poverty level by how many calories citizens consume per day. "The problem is, the amount of calories they consume a day is worth about 25 cents."

He pointed out that at least 75 percent of people earn less than $1 a day in India.

George also talked about literacy.

"India's goal for literacy is if you can add one plus one, say 'a-b-c' and read a sign post, you're literate," he said.

After selling his software corporation, George realized he could offer the American ideal of opportunity to India.

First, he decided to take children from the poorest parts of India and give them schooling at what is now called the Haven of Peace. The majority of the students are from the "untouchable" caste -- which performs much of India's hard labor.

"Before I knew it, the school was so big, I'd spent 10 times what I'd planned to within the first year," he added.

George then moved on to health care.

He said that doctors in rural India currently don't usually show up for work because there's no money to be made.

"So I created a 'doctor in a box,' a program where [people] can interact with a computer and diagnose any of 300 diseases themselves," he said.

George also stated that he believes the reason for all this injustice and poverty is the lack of ability to earn income.

However, he does not believe that waiting for the benefits of globalization to trickle down to the lowest class is an efficient way to improve society.

"I bought 200 acres of barren land from some landlords in southern India, and now it's the second largest banana grower in [the country]," he said. The entire surrounding area is now employed, and 90 percent of the workers are women - which he finds very important.

"If [Indian women] become income earners ... their husbands will listen to them and respect them," he said.

Audience members were inspired, if a bit jealous.

"My long-term goal is to do the same thing for Africa, but it's hard because you have to get rich first, before you give all your money away," said Lori Holmes, a Wharton MBA student.

Answer 3

In India poverty is concentrated in village. First the Government should formulative policies to develop villages as self reliant. Due to drought the village folk are migrating to cities in search of greener postures, here also they are disappointed. Most of the Indian cities have filled to the brim with population. Unemployment has increased and insanitation is rampant. Even cities are not able to provide the required succour to the poor. Govt. should give importance to villages providing sufficient infrastructure and facilities.

Answer 4

India is a filthy, largely uneducated, highly poluted country that takes very poor care of the lower class.
Stop the practice of severe class distinction.
Enact laws to stop polution due to industrial growth.
An income tax is hardly workable, yet a consumer tax would hit those who use the resources more in line with the poor who don't.
Enact laws that don't separate citizens by caste.

There's a few. Good luck.
