Poverty Line Planning Commission Earn Rs 25 Each day, Half Dollar a Day You are Rich Indian
USA
First know who is poor in USA as per American Government
How the USA defines the poverty line?
The American government defines the poverty line
1. as income of USD 22,314 (about Rs 10 lakh) a year for a family of four
2. and USD 11,139 (about Rs 5 lakh) for individual.
Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2010.' This report said that one in every six American is living below poverty line.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is the head of Planing Commission.
Planning commission of India stated in a affidavit told to Supreme Court of India that
Tendulkar rural poverty line of Rs 447 per capita per month about Rs 15 per day at
2004-05 prices, equivalent to roughly Rs 25 per day today after adjusting for Inflation "ensures the adequacy of actual private expenditure on food, education and health."
In 25 Rs. what we can do?
How Government of India is going to decide who is poor in India.
Who is below poverty line in India?
According to the Planning Commission of India if any individual spends more than Rs 965 in a city then he will be considered rich Indian.
If any individual spends Rs. 781 per month in a village then he is rich person.
Thus if someone in India earns Rs. 965 a month he is rich Indian.
Rs.965 multiply 12 months = Rs. 11,580
Rs.781 multiply 12 months = Rs 9444
Rs.11,580 = 241.48 USD
Rs.9444 = 196.94 USD
Compare above with the American Poverty line –
as income of USD 22,314 (about Rs 10 lakh) a year for a family of four
and USD 11,139 (about Rs 5 lakh) for individual.
Indian planning commission said that As per the revised estimate the total BPL population decreased to 35.89 crore.
Can you spend with a day with 25 Rs. in Mumbai or Bangalore or Delhi?
I don’t think so, in a village also we can not live or spend a day with only Rs. 25.
But our politicians say that then my question to Congress Government is that if it is possible then why not fix the salaries of all politicians as per poverty line.
Why don’t you show the Indians how to spend a day with Rs.25?
If we apply the American poverty line to Indians I think 95% Indians are living below poverty line.
If we will apply the German poverty line then also 95% Indians are living below poverty line.
A life of Beggar
AND still intelligent Indians say we are shining

SM thanks for bringing the core issue on the fore front. I think this issues should be brought for national discussion and parameters for defining poverty needs to be redesigned. What is government hiding behind this poverty line? Is a matter of investigation.
why dont politicians apply the same logic to their salaries..why they keep increasing theirs?..they shouldnt get more than 1000/ month, to keep- them above poverty line..nothing more...
Govt has now started to insult the poor
My dear fellow bloggers, read the 16th line. After Tendulkar. The government is talking about rural poverty.
