$0.50 per day for 77% of Indians?
$0.50 per day for 77% of Indians?

"A 2007 report by the state-run National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) found that 77% of Indians, or 836 million people, lived on less than 20 rupees per day (USD 0.50 nominal, USD 2.0 in PPP), with most working in "informal labour sector with no job or social security, living in abject poverty."[28][29]"

Why is the GDP (nominal) per capita is $941 then or the GDP $2563 in terms of PPP? Do the math, the $0.50 per day for 77% Indians will not make sense based on the $941 per capita and the income distribution gini Index. Other countries with worst income distribution fares better. So Whoever came up with this $0.50 per day..... crap, need to recalculate.

One-third of world's poor in India: Survey
NEW DELHI: India is home to roughly one-third of all poor people in the world. It also has a higher proportion of its population living on less than $2 per day than even sub-Saharan Africa.

That is the sobering news coming out of the World Bank's latest estimates on global poverty. The fine print of the estimates also shows that the rate of decline of poverty in India was faster between 1981 and 1990 than between 1990 and 2005. This is likely to give fresh ammunition to those who maintain that economic reforms, which started in 1991, have failed to reduce poverty at a faster rate.

India, according to the new estimates, had 456 million people or about 42% of the population living below the new international poverty line of $1.25 per day. The number of Indian poor also constitute 33% of the global poor, which is pegged at 1.4 billion people.

India also had 828 million people, or 75.6% of the population living below $2 a day. Sub-Saharan Africa, considered the world's poorest region, is better — it has 72.2% of its population (551m) people below the $2 a day level.

The estimates are based on recently recalculated purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates, which makes comparisons across countries possible. The dollar exchange rates being referred to here, therefore, are not the ones used in normal exchange rates.

While the full report has not yet been released, a briefing note sent by the Bank had some of the data and showed that the poverty rate — those below $1.25 per day — for India had come down from 59.8% in 1981 to 51.3% by 1990 or 8.5 percentage points over nine years. Between 1990 and 2005, it declined to 41.6%, a drop of 9.7 percentage points over 15 years, clearly a much slower rate of decline.

An FAQ on the new estimates, also provided by the Bank, however states, "India has maintained even progress against poverty since the 1980s, with the poverty rate declining at a little under one percentage point per year." vkvora2001 (talk) 02:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with the UN calculation of poverty in India. I stand with the Government of India's calculation that Poverty is about 28% in India. Believe me, in small villages and towns in Indian government rations offer food for families at less than Rs. 10/month. Vegetables and meats are available at very subsidized rates in villages, farms, and small towns which make up more than 88% of India. Monthly rent for houses cost less than Rs. 25 which comes to less than Rs. 40/month worth of expenditure. Many construction workers earn about Rs. 300/month and are given allowances to buy basic necessities at subsidized rates across towns, villages and some cities like Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore. So, please do not try to tarnish the image of India on the global stage by talking about erroneous calculations about poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition. Thanks for your time.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia and has far less poverty...
India is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), United Nations organization (all branches but the UN Security Council), G8+5 (Industrialized Countries and Leading Emerging Economies), and G-20 (Major Economies). India is Asia's third (3rd) Largest Economy, and World's fourth (4th) Largest Economy when measured in terms of GDP (PPP)(Source: The CIA World Factbook). Every year more than three million Indians graduate from Colleges and Universities across India which is considered strongest among emerging economies (Source: The Times of India). Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) augmented by about 78% between 1991 and 2001 (Source: The Indian Express).

I disagree with the UN calculation of poverty in India. I stand with the Government of India's calculation that Poverty is about 28% in India.

 * As a lady said, "I am too short for my weight", so are your figures, Rs. 300 a month, and rents of Rs. 40/ a month, the figures are right, only if the year is 1980. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:27, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Lack of consistency and reliability in estimating poverty in India
I am listing two studies/publication on poverty in India
 * A study was done by the McKinsey Global Institute. This study found 54% of the people living in India were living on a household income of less than 90,000 rupees a year. That means about a dollar per person per day.
 * National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) published a report in 2007. This report state, 77% of Indians (that means 836 million people), lived on less than 20 rupees per day (USD 0.50 nominal, USD 2.0 in PPP). Most of them have no job or social security. They live in abject poverty.

One of the problems with estimating poverty in India is a lack of consistent and reliable numbers. McKinsey study quoted above (46% at $1 a day or above for a household size of 5) is off by a factor compared to 77% under $0.5 a day by NCEUS. To add insult to injury here are some industry numbers that do not fit well with 77% under $0.5 a day.
 * The number of cell phones in India was 250 Million India to oust US in number of cell phone users in Jan 2008; about 400 million in mid 2009 and slated to easily cross 500 Million Cellphones in India in 2010 with a current growth rate of over 10 million new cell phones a month. A growth that is clearly not abating. At $20-$200 per cell phone and $0.02-$0.04 a minute rate, it is a luxury that folks earning $1 a day cannot afford after paying for food, housing, clothes.
 * 2001 numbers for basic amenities from census bureau India Census Bureau Household Amenities for percentage household reach were Bi-cycles (45%); TV (31%); radio (33%) do not fit well with 77% under $0.5 a day. All these numbers tally well with industry news. Do note this is 2001 census, about 7 years before 77% under $.5 a day was computed. These are amenities households at $1 a day per person cannot afford let alone those with $0.5 a day per person. The country has grown between 7%-9% a year; i.e. almost GDP almost doubled in these 7 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amolkekre (talk • contribs) 18:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Study results do differ depending upon the year they were conducted, how they define poverty, and their methodology. Our job on wikipedia is not to correct or analyze these results, but to report them accurately. Therefeore I have reverted your recent edit to the article, which fell afoul of wikipedia policy of no original research. Of course if you know of some published critiques of the NCEUS or McKinsey Global Institute study, we can add that to the article. Abecedare (talk) 18:51, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Toilet stuff
I just removed one sourced statement about people defecating in the open along with some random commentary from the lead. I have no problem if something sensibly worded goes in the article, but this content is undue in the lead, and definitely the commentary is not appropriate. - Spaceman  Spiff  06:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

UN Human Development Index Statistic
Why is the following removed agaain and again, although it is a sourced fact from a very notable authority, with an important comparison to a neighbouring and similar country?

"According to the UN Development Programme, Human Development Index (HDI), 75.6% of India's population lives under $2 a day, some 41.6% live under $1 a day compared to 22.6% in Pakistan.

 * As far as I can tell, you are the only one who seems obsessed with including this statistic. As administrator Abecedare noted, the statistics you cited are "redundant" and the comparison between India and Pakistan is "undue". He also noted that the article already cited the "two most relevant sources for poverty statistics." Can you tell me why the poverty rate in India has anything to do with the poverty rate in Pakistan? On a side note, I'm kind of curious why you made these edits.

Edit request from Daniash007, 15 June 2010
Please do not Singleout Bihar in the JPEG image you have uploaded. This is totally demoralising as Bihar is now the second most economic growth state in Nation. Please refer to the image as a poor village in India rather than Bihar. Let the good work be continuing in India.

Partly done: Removed "poorest state" comment as it gives undue weight to a possibly untrue fact. Spigot Map  18:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Title of the article
I dispute the title of the article. It should be "Poverty in North India" rather than downgrading the entire nation especailly much prosperous South which has nothing to do with poverty. To support my debate, i would like to refer the recent study conducted by the Oxford University which says the poverty prevails in 8 north indian states. Please see below:

A study by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative using a Multi-dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) found that there were 421 million poor living under the MPI in Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. This number is higher than the 410 million poor living in the 26 poorest African nations.

Are you claiming that there is no poverty in South India ? Vinay84 (talk) 10:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Improve this article
I am sure we can do much more to improve this important article than to debate upon whether a particular photo should appear here or not. Who cares if a beggar's photo is put up here? Presently, the article is a mess! It resembles a plagiarized thesis of some Indian university, where sense, readability and continuity are thrown out of the window. I tried to bring some clarity into one section on "estimates of poverty in India" - removed duplicate statements and provided some sort of continuity. I hope others will do the same to the remaining part of the article. (Saildew (talk) 19:47, 6 April 2011 (UTC))

Needed more statistics and definitions
This article need to elaborate on how poverty is defined and measured in India. For example there can be a sub-section on the various definitions mentioned in the article. Also, it needs tables of poverty by demographics ; urban-poor, by religion etc. I believe census collects this data. Vinay84 (talk) 10:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Original research
The sub-heading "Rich Indians are not generous" is inappropriate and misleading. First of all, I highly doubt the veracity of any statistics that tries to measure just how much wealthy Indians are donating (or not). Secondly, even if good statistics were available, it is quite a bit of jump (downright ignorant, in my opinion) to claim that it is due to lack of generosity. --Blacksun (talk) 14:11, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Outdated citations
We are in 2011. Citations from 2005, especially in the heading, should be updated. --Blacksun (talk) 14:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Why would someone want to remove a valid statement?
Well, someone without a username thinks its a great move to remove the statement I had inserted which said that there IS a confusion in India regarding the correct estimate of poverty. That statement is VERY important because unless we know how many are poor in India, how can we even have a debate on what causes poverty, its impact, etc. Every discussion would be futile if the estimation of poverty varies from 27% to 80%.

This very article had stated (before my edit) that the Planning Commission of India has accepted 27.5% as the poverty percentage before protests made them take a U turn and accept the Tendulkar Committee report of 37%. That 10% is a huge difference!

See this earlier version:
 * ''According to the criterion used by the Planning Commission of India, 27.5% of the population was living below the poverty line in 2004–2005, down from 51.3% in 1977–1978, and 36% in 1993-1994.

And I wonder why this important information (change that I made to the above sentence) has been removed:
 * Earlier, the Planning Commission had said that 27.5% of the population was living below the poverty line in 2004–2005, down from 51.3% in 1977–1978 and 36% in 1993–1994[5] based on the 61st round of the National Sample Survey (NSS), and the criterion used was monthly per capita consumption expenditure below 356.35 for rural areas and  538.60 for urban areas.

I hope people will be more civic enough to discuss issues before making fanciful changes. Now, I don't want to revert the edits that have been made as it would only lead to a foolish, unwanted exercise. (Saildew (talk) 18:35, 8 April 2011 (UTC))

Causes of poverty in India
I think that one of the major original reasons of the poverty crisis was the steady destruction of India's industries by British imperialism. Jawaharlal Nehru, in his 'The Discovery of India' describes in great detail how India was transformed into a market colony to fuel Britain's industrial revolution. India's traditional ethnic industries were destroyed, new landed classes arose and sanctions and duties were imposed to curb Indian industry. Initially every effort was made to keep the masses ignorant and backward by withholding scientific and technological advances in India. I do think this is an important background the article should provide under the section of 'Causes'.

Bodhgaya image et al
Wikipedia is a n certain nations website. Most articles are written to spite India. Most of what is written here and what has been written since Vasco da gama set his accursed foot on Indian soil is to spite India, Indian religions and Indian traditions. Which is why we have Slumdog Millionaire winning Oscars, and Lagan loosing. The world of a certain complexion wishes India to lose even in a fantasy. There is no denying that India is wretched grim poverty, the person in the photograph is using his disabled anatomy to earn money just as it is common in rich, certain complexion countries for persons of a certain gender, to enhance certain aspects of their anatomy to earn money. I vote for as many photos of filth and despair. Wake up Indian friends, an average US citizen eats 270 pounds of meat in a year. And there are the cars that they drive, the lawns that they water, the pets that they feed, the suburban sprawl they live in. That is why other nations are poor. The rich certain complexion world, and the rich of the poor black world have cornered resources to leave the rest hungry, homeless and without health, education, freedom and honour. And then they send there their aid and missionaries to save our souls.

Aside from the fact that this is a page to discuss the article, not your personal feelings... you can just go ahead and say "evil white people" instead of "the world of a certain complexion". Everybody knows that's what you really mean, so it is unclear as to why you think you need to be clever about it... or why you aren't ranting in a blog instead of here. 192.54.250.11 (talk) 17:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Discussion about the Official Measure of Poverty is missing (45 cents per day (rural) & 50 cents per day (urban))
"The Indian government sets its official poverty line at 816 rupees per person per month in rural areas and 1,000 rupees per person per month for city dwellers. That works out to about 40 cents a day in the countryside and 50 cents a day in the city." - According to the official measure only 22% are living below poverty comparable to that of Western Countries which is about 10-15%, according to their own poverty lines. This measure has been severely criticized by many..

Many paragraphs in the "Poverty estimates" section can be included in a History section. Measures of Poverty (In India) section should be created to include the above and other measures. "Impact of poverty" needs to be expanded as well.

As this is a large article I don't want simply modify existing sections. I am also aware that this is a sensitive issue for many Indian editors. --Natkeeran (talk) 22:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Consensus
I think we have achieved as much consensus as we are going to achieve. User:Otolemur crassicaudatus has agreed that having a beggar image is not right. I do not know what his reasoning behind keeping it is now, since it tends to change as time goes by.

"'I agree that the other articles on poverty has no beggar image, it is not right, and I also agree that all articles should be uniform'"

User:Adam.J.W.C. doesnt seem like he's ever going to yield. Since he always tends to wait for the discussion to be over and then just inserts the image again. As he has done ],

"'If he photo is removed, just weight a month or so then re insert it, if it is removed again then do one revert per day after that, I don't think you would be breaking any law by doing so. I could step in as well'"

There are somethings about which not everyone will agree. I think we have enough people agreeing that the image should be removed as it is not an appropriate portrayal of poverty in india and an exploitation of one's "poverty and disability by exaggerating his helplessness at the time of begging"

Slumdog Millionaire
There is no relevance to having a link to the movie Slumdog Millionaire in this page. The movie was a work of fiction while this page is meant to portray facts. The other poverty pages have no links to fictitious works meant for profiteering. It is akin to having a link to Inglorious Basterds in the Liberation of Paris page or Avatar in the forced migration/refugee.This movie has shown only about the poverty in Mumbai which is place of cellebraties. Here people can earn thier livelyhood easily but in other parts of India or in Maharashtra people are living a harsh life : no water,electricity,medical facilities,education........etc I think that government should take some charge about those people they are helpless. They even can't express their feelings to the govenment cause they are illitrate and they are more supressed. All the educated people wont move on that place because they think that this place is useless and find there jobs on a big citties like Delhi,Mumbai...........

Issues with July 7 2014 version of this article
1.Instances of WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:OR. The lead, for example, is a synthesis because neither source [3] nor [1] and [2] make this claim, or link it to poverty and its reduction.
 * Quote: "World's two biggest Social Programs (...) and[1] and (...)[2] due to which per capita income has increased at an annual average of nearly 20 per cent during the last decade.[3]

2. Instances of WP:POV. For example, one set of poverty estimates are highlighted as if scholars widely agree on these numbers. They don't. There are several schools, each with different methodology and estimates of poverty in India. For neutral point of view, the article must not take sides, but should explain the major sides, fairly and without bias. The article should cover absolute poverty and relative poverty in India.

3. Instances of WP:SOAPBOX and WP:COATRACK. For examples, see abuse and causes sub-section. While opinions of activists, current affairs, news articles and politics may look interesting, these quickly become obsolete to a serious topic like poverty. A crime against a few people may belong in wiki news, but an encyclopedic article is not the place for crime news and alleged link to poverty. There are 1000s of secondary sources such as peer reviewed journal articles, books and reviews on poverty in India, and a better article would rely on these, not each new round of sensational opinion.

Historical data
Why have the historical statistics been removed? Data on the reduction on poverty rates is both inspiring (change is possible), and also allows projection into possible future rates.
