India the poorest country in South Asia in three aspects that is lack of good health, education and living standards

[Spartan]

Making the country the poorest in South Asia, over 270 million people in India live below international poverty lines. India’s poverty rate is around 21.2 per cent which is worse than its neighbour Pakistan (6.1 per cent), a study by the World Bank has revealed.

The second poorest country in South Asia is Bangladesh (18.5 per cent), followed by Nepal (15 per cent). Poverty has been largely calculated on three aspects that is lack of good health, education and living standards and India tops the list for having the largest population that has no access to these essentials.

The study found that Indian states like Uttar Pradesh (60 lakh), Bihar (36 lakh), Madhya Pradesh (24 lakh), Odisha (14 lakh), Jharkhand (13 lakh), Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh (10 lakh), lead in the number of poor people with low incomes that fall below the international poverty rate. Of the 270 million people that have been categorised below the standard, 70 per cent live in rural Indian and 30 per cent in urban India.

These 270 million people have lower access to basic services like toilets, electricity and tap water. Casual labour is the primary source of income and they spend maximum on their food and fuel and less for education and health.

Sri Lanka has the lowest headcount index (1.9 per cent) while Bhutan reported the second lowest (2.2 per cent) in the South Asian region.

Another expert, Amitabh Kant, social issues observer added, “Hunger and ill health are two chronic poverty issues faced in India. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana suffer a low and declining Human Development Index, in contrast to its low levels of income poverty. On the other hand, Karnataka, and in particular Kerala and Tamil Nadu have strong HDIs and governance is relatively pro-poor. Urban poverty is clearly a specific and complex problem. In order to reduce the growth of poverty, the government should focus on a pro-poor scheme that focuses on education, health and improving living standards.”

However, experts in the field said that the study tried to correlate poverty percentage changes over the years against the country’s population.

Social scientist Devender Kumar said, “India is densely populated than its South Asian neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Bhutan, Pakistan and more. Bangladesh and Pakistan came into existence only after the partition, while others already existed.” Subsequently, the poverty calculation methodology indices will be based on the population of the country and naturally less for those that are low on population.”

FYI : India's population is now 1.3 billion and before 90's, almost 60% of the population were poor and now about 25% of the population is below poverty levels.

Let me put it this way...In the last 30 years, almost 300 million people have been pulled out of poverty and another 200 million still suffering from extreme poverty.

300 million is not a joke. Only china was better than India in these terms. something that china did in 20 years, we did it in 30 years. No other country could not even come close to these figures.

Halwa bro dont ever go by these figures according to WB if a person makes 1.90(120 rupees) dollars per day he is above poverty line.. its from 2017.. ade antakamundu its only 1.20 dollars so e governments adi bench mark ga pettukuni they just boast intamandini lift chesam antha mandini lift chesam poverty nunchi ani..but reality lo there is no significant development in their situation. Aina WB 1.90dollars ante atleast mana govt 3.00 dollars ani own ga benchmark pettukuni policy design cheyali bro...so avanni just gimmik numbers.. asalu per year 36000 rupees income tho India lo evaraina 3 times a day comfortable ga tinagalada.. undadaniki illu avi tarvata..
