Since its independence, the issue of poverty within India has remained a prevalent concern. As of 2010, more than 48% of India’s population of 1.35 billion still lives below the poverty line. More than 32% of the entire rural population and 35% of the urban population of India exists in this difficult physical and financial predicament.
Country where over 48 percent of its 1.2 billion citizens live in abject poverty does need to boast to the world it does make sense.
The division of resources, as well as wealth, is uneven in India - this disparity creates different poverty ratios for different states. For instance, states such as Delhi and Punjab have low poverty ratios. On the other hand, almost half the population in states like Bihar and Orissa live below the poverty line.
