The World Bank estimates that 456 million Indians (41.6% of the total Indian population) now live under the global poverty line of US$ 1.25 per day (PPP). This means that one third of the global poor now reside in India. However, this also represents a significant decline in poverty from the 60 percent level in 1981 to 42 percent in 2005....
But still "42% of total population of India" is below poverty line.
A Country which is one of the largest producer of WHEAT,RICE,AND OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS. It is tragedy that countless people in the country have not access of full tummy two times food in a day and more shocking is that wheat is ruined in the government godowns due to lack of proper storing facilities. It is the responsibilities of the government to use its assets in right manner and take care of its citizen, but governments first let its valuable assets waste then smartly passes on buck to others and escape to accept that it has fail to utilise it valuable assets properly. It is really a shame rather crime in country like India if food items rotten in the government warehouses’ not in kilos but in tons which later on not good for any living beings to use. Considering this Supreme Court of India pass on directive to Central Government to take care of every food grain and if they have not proper arrangements to store them, then it should be release to the poor people of the country but it should not be ruined. If we go through the stats available in the country courtesy Right to Information Act food items rotten in the government warehouses’ in last five years then it will shake badly that how much Food Corporation of India’s officials are careless and despite knowing that wheat or rice in open will rotten with little spell of rain and why not they inform higher or concerned authorities to take care of food items, but after the news broken of their negligence then they starts blaming game, even Food and Agriculture Minister of country Mr. Sharad Pawar instead of taking action against the tainted officials and taking responsibilities of wastage, blame state governments. Ultimately poor people sufferer and government money wasted.
