Hello my dear steemit friends.Hope you all are doing well.So friends today I thought of discussing about a very big topic.Poverty in India.Poverty is a significant issue in India,despite of a fastest growing country in the world and a sizable consumer in terms of economy,India is still a country below poverty.The world bank reviewed in may 2014 ,according to its calculation the world had 872.3 million people below the new Poverty line of which 179.6 million people lived in India.
In other words,India with 17.5% of total world's population ,had 20.6% share of world's poorest people.58% of the total population were living on less than $3.10 per day.After India gained it's independence in 1947,mass deaths from famines were prevented.Rapid economic growth since 1991 ,has led to sharp reductions in extreme poverties in India.However those above Poverty line lives a fragile life.
India at present has a greater share of the poor around the world.High population growth rate is one of the major reasons of Poverty in India .High level of illiteracy,poor health care facilities and lack of access to financial resources are also the major reasons of Poverty in India.Apart from all these,skilled workers are paid very low inspite of their hard work they put daily.Poverty must be erased from India as every person has the right to live a healthy life.
So friends if you liked my post than up vote it and follow me .Thank you.And have a great day steemiens.
