According to the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The different definitions and underlying small sample surveys used to determine poverty in India have resulted in widely varying estimates of poverty from the 1950s to 2010s. In 2012, the Indian government stated that 22% of its population is below its official poverty limit.[6] Based on 2005's PPPs International Comparison Program,[7] in 2011, the World Bank estimated that 23.6% of Indian population, or about 276 million people, lived below $1.25 per day on purchasing power parity.[8][9] According to the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals (MDG) programme, 270 million people out of 1.2 billion Indians, roughly equal to 21.9% of India's population, lived below the poverty line of $1.25 in 2011-2012.[10]
India has been able to lift a significant percentage of its population out of poverty, but many still live in it. India had 73 million people living in extreme poverty which makes up 5.5% of its total population.
The solution for poverty is a "New world Government." This government is already set up ready to take over to bring peace and happiness to mankind. Psalm 72:12-14..
