FEMALE LITERACY AND
INFANT MORTALITY RATES
As of 2005, 85.7% of the population lives on less than $2.50 (PPP) a day.
the Planning Commission of India has estimated that 27.5% of the population
was living below the poverty line in 20042005.
Between 1999 and 2008, the annualized growth rates for Gujarat (8.8%),
Haryana (8.7%), or Delhi (7.4%) were much higher than for Bihar (5.1%), Uttar
Pradesh (4.4%), or Madhya Pradesh (3.5%).Poverty rates in rural Orissa (43%)
and rural Bihar (41%) are higher than in the world's poorest countries such as
Malawi.
Poverty alleviation is expected to make better progress in the next 50 years than
in the past, as a trickle-down effect of the growing middle class.
The growth of the middle class indicates that economic prosperity has indeed
been very impressive in India, but the distribution of wealth is not at all even.
After the liberalization process and moving away from the socialist model, India is
adding 60-70 million people to its middle class every year. At the current rate of
growth, a majority of Indians will be middle-class by 2025.

WHAT IS POVERTY ?
Poverty is about not having enough
money to meet basic needs including
food, clothing and shelter. However,
poverty is more, much more than just
not having enough money.
The world bank describes poverty as:
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.
