Poverty in India: Still a Large Issue
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Though India boasts of a high economic growth and poverty in India is reducing, but it is still a major issue. Poverty in India can be defined as a situation when a certain section of people are unable to fulfil their basic needs. India has the world’s largest number of poor people living in a single country. Out of its total population, 872.3 million people are living below the poverty line. The proportion of India’s population below the poverty line has fluctuated widely in the past, but the overall trend has been downward. In order to end poverty, we must empower the women to transform their lives. It can be done through business training and mentoring. On an average, five people benefit for each woman. The Economic Survey has proposed a Universal Basic Income that insures every citizen has a right to a minimum income to cover their basic needs as a long term solution to reduce poverty in India. There are about 950 central sector and centrally sponsored schemes in India, accounting for about 5% of the GDP budget allocation.
