INDIA NEEDS  FOOD ONLY!
India is the great and we love our country,we love all peoples in our country. but it very unfortunate and very shame to us that many peoples in India are below poverty level .they are living with very difficulty and suffering  so many problems to their daily living life like food,health, sanitation , education ,hygine and inadequate accommodation etc
.India is the only country in the South Asia region that is on its way to achieve the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to halve the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015.
Since its independence, the issue of poverty within India has remained a prevalent concern. As of 2010, more than 37% of India's population of 1.35 billion still lives below the poverty line. More than 22% of the entire rural population and 15% of the urban population of India exists in this difficult physical and financial predicament.

 Govt study fixes poverty line at Rs 66 for cities and Rs 35 for villages.
Here is a new set of official statistics that can escalate the politically contentious debate on what constitutes the poverty line.
If the average monthly consumption expenditure is taken as the benchmark of what an individual needs to survive, the poverty line would be Rs 66.10 for urban areas and Rs 35.10 for rural regions, while about 65% of the population will be below this cutoff.
It is very strange !Shame for India!
