Our Finance Minister Nirmala ji came up with a number and that was 135 million Indians are out of poverty in the last 5 years. She said it in the Parliament while replying to a question asked by the opposition. Now, my question is do you guys think in the last 5 years India has made so much progress that a big number of Indians have been rooted in the middle class? My next question to you guys is, do you see changes happening around you in the last 5 years?
Isn't that obvious because the government set such a funny requirement who make monthly pay of Rs.1300 in urban areas and Rs.1060 in rural areas are considered as above poverty line. So I won't be surprised even if the government claims 100% of India is living above the povery line.
Well, according to world reports India is doing very poor like 111th rank in hunger out of 125 countries.
Happiness Index 126th our 136.
Employment rate 45%.
