What is Poverty?
“Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter.
Poverty is being sick and not being able to
see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to
school and not knowing how to read. Poverty
is not having a job, is fear for the future,
living one day at a time. Poverty is losing a
child to illness brought about by unclean
water. Poverty is powerlessness, lack of
representation and freedom.”

Poverty Line
The poverty threshold, poverty limit, poverty
line or breadline, is the minimum level of
income deemed adequate in a particular
country. Poverty line is usually calculated by
finding the total cost of all the essential
resources that an average human adult
consumes in one year.

Conclusion
 India ‘s economy is growing briskly, but many
Indians are being left behind. The democratic
promise of inclusive growth is not being met. India’s
economy has grown handsomely since about 1980,
and the growth rate is now approaching that of the
world’s fastest growing economy, China. This
impressive growth performance, however, has been
accompanied by widening economic inequality, rural
versus urban, and along the class lines. The rich
have become richer whereas the life chances of the
poor have increased proportionately. Poverty has
declined only at a modest pace. Literacy is also
improving but again at a fairly slow pace.
