37% Indians below Poverty Line

The Poverty in India is increasing day by day and recently Indian planning commission has accepted that the rate of Poverty Line in India has gone up to 37%. Indian planning commission has said on basis of Tendulkar Committee that the Poverty is increased 10% in India. After this increase of 10% over 1/3 India Population is gone down Poverty Line.

For those who don,t know what is Below Poverty Line? Below Poverty Line means earning less than two Dollars daily which in India currency means 80 Rs. The Wealth in India is uniting in few hands while poor is becoming more poor. Just 36 Families in India are having 1/3 of Indian GDP. Indian Establishment must think about it that instead of spending billions on Defence and Destabilizing Pakistan they must spend in giving food to their poor people
