Poverty in India, Dependency on Agriculture is the main Reason!

15th of October was Blog Action Day on which all the blogger of the world need to discuss a common cause and this year’s topic was Poverty. So I thought to bring a small writing on the Poverty in India.

dependency on agriculture in Rural India is the main cause behind poverty

Despite the efforts of the Government to eliminate poverty from India, it is still considered as the biggest threat to the Indian Economy. Indian Economy was on a boom a few days back, from last two days it is on a downfall, though I am not going to discuss here about that.

Wikipedia mentions that “India is home to one-third of the world’s poor people”, please check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India for more detail.

During recent time we have seen that Indian Middle Class has become more reached, the purchasing power of the Indian middle class family has increased durably during the period. Even the time has shown the growth of the Rich Class people of India. What about the people living below the poverty line in India?

As far as my views are concerned no one is there to take care about them. Our respected Politicians too did not take care about them. The main reason behind the poverty in India is the dependency on the Agriculture in Rural India. Jobs sector on which people who are residing in metros or a bit bigger cities are growing, but agriculture is a field which is not at all growing.

Agriculture always have to face the devastating way of nature like flood, drought etc. Government makes lots of policies to help the affected people but the money never reach to them.

So it is true that we are going to moon on the coming 22nd October, but still we will have to take a look on those people who are still unable to generate two times of food for them and their family. Please do share me with your views on the topic.
