Poverty in India

To get many benefits including income tax exemption and free loans...(including agricultural ones), people are showing their incomes very low. Isn't it?
Particularly farmers and business persons. So, government can never calculate per capita income of this country, correctly.

The income tax assessees are not under poverty line even if they conceal part of their income. There are large number of people who just manage to subsist any way.

It's all because of corruption and also not using money sestematically

yes you are right ketam, most of the money s going under scaming of the politicians and corruption then remaining money they spend for showing others that they are doing some thing. but no one do nothing for poor. So India is still developing and still poverty exists in India

No doubt there are more poor in INDIA due to many reasons one of the first reason is employment.And the difference in rich and poor is increasing day by day those who are poor are getting more poor these days due to inflation. :evil:

It's be coz richers are getting more rich while popes are getting more poor. The tax payments are not equally made by all . Also politicians gulp large amount of money. Ultimately it's common man who suffers.

This is a main problem of our country and I think this is the main cause og economic growth.

Most of the politicians are corrupt they gulp money of people which they earn by hard work.Like what happened during common wealth games all of the ministers full their bank account from the money which was supposed to be spent on the games. :evil:

This type of politician should be punished very strongly but who will give it as all are corrupted.

Corruption is bad but this cannot be sole cause of poverty. Illiteracy and lack of skill and consequent non utilization of human resources to best advantage of nation cause poverty. There are many in non productive jobs like living on rent, brokerage and interest income, religious preaching and fooling people, Strictly speaking, anything other than manufacture of products and agriculture is unproductive and cause poverty.

We need have more agriculture and industry workers, soldiers and less middlemen, religious preachers, priests, lawyers. Even the need for doctors should decrease by better anti pollution and food habits. More skill, more direct workers will bring prosperity. There must be stress on skill. We shall employ to the extent we need and rest will work abroad and send foreign income to families.

Correct root cause you have explained Sir.We have to create more workplace to through away poverty.

Iliteracy is the most important root of poverty. If we are Iliterate,we won't get good job. If job is not there,we would be poor.
Corrption is there as the person who is qualified for a job,is given to some different guy,which is not at all qualified.

Corruption will not enable you to get an appointment if you are not qualified for the post. The corrupt go according to rules whereas honest are just simpletons who do not know how to do things. If you have requisite qualification but another person similarly qualified is more efficient or better, you may overtake him through corrupt means.

Here the issue is of poverty. Needless to say, we have to increase skill of our people by making education entirely free.

I remember an incident- two candidates were allotted a fixed sum to find out a few facts and the winner was to be selected for the post. The one who spent lesser and got elected had done nothing but followed and copied the facts collected by the first candidate who made expenses collecting them. The one who won on the basis of lesser expenses proved his point that he can do things using his skills and not merely by laboring around. Therefore, smart worker is better than an ordinary one who can do wonders for an employer. This could be taken for a joke but is not a joke.

Why can't prising of common commodities be categorized according to different groups.....(except ration)? by this way, common man gets more benefits

What would happen of no body had skill but only smartness as given in the example. such smartness is just cheating that helps only if others are honest.

In our state, actually literacy is helping poor man a lot. Since most people prefer for white collar jobs, common workers are not available.
You will be shocked to know that even in remote villages, daily wages of worker has jumped to 650-700 per day minimum. So, if wife also go for some work, she will get minimum 300-400. So, 1000 rupees per day for a common family. We people have to give them what ever they demand, since workers are not available nowadays and their kids are also well educated doing engineering courses.

They do it when they declare the budget but the irony is they take few items in common commodities. :laugh:

Pricing goods differently according to consumer income is complicated and not feasible generally. But this is done in some respects. Fee concession and scholarships, fair price shops are some methods. Army has C.S.D. canteen for soldiers. many organizations form their own consumer cooperative stores for price advantage.

Rations are given for common commodities. Yes, it's not feasible to expand it. Yet, if attempts are made, some kind of reforms can be done. But what to do, politicians are spending their valuable working hours for stunts in parliament and attending marriage functions....also filling their own pockets :evil:
