Summary: The nation of India is known for its growing economic dominance and recent tourism booms, which continue to generate revenue for the country. At the other end of the spectrum, the same country is home to around 36% of the world's poor, many of whom live on as little as $2 a day. In this proposal I offer a detailed view of what the nation has done wrong and how foreign aid can eradicate one of the world's biggest problems in a short amount of time. Specific Development Programme: Eradicate Extreme Poverty in the Madhya Pradesh Region of India. Release Statement: It is no secret that India is now known as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, but in Madhya Pradesh, which counts beyond 75 million inhabitants (making it the sixth most populous state in India). Along with population growth, the number of malnourished children rose from 53.55 to 60 percent, while the number of anemic women rose from 47 to 57 percent. India is estimated to be home to 36% of the earth's poor. The World Bank found that 32.7% of all individuals in the Indian nation are below the global poverty line of $1.25 a day. 67.8% of India's population is expected to live on less than $2 a day. Amartya Sen defined poverty as a deprivation of access to basic skills. In these terms, the number of poor people in India amounts to a staggering 300 million (Eleventh National Development Plan). Although this amount has shown a slow decline, nearly a third of India's population of more than 1.1 billion continues to live below the poverty line, and a large percentage of those who are poor live in rural areas, such as Madhya Pradesh. Poverty accounts... middle of paper ......given elsewhere for items such as fertilizers, etc. India also needs to implement a much more operational tax system as its private sector continues to grow exponentially. This will give the country enough time to fund the right pro-poor policies and examine their effectiveness over time. Bottom line: To be sure, implementing new jobs involves new trials, and altering an entire system is not as easy as it seems. in theory. In a nation going through such an intense transition as India, it is now more crucial than ever. The state of Madhya Pradesh has lagged behind the developing world long enough and the government has shown its true colors in its limited concern for the welfare of the state. It is up to the international community to weigh in on any nation that fails to provide its own basic rights and tools for survival.
