Abstract

After a long, long time there was good news to splash as media led with the report of a record 21.9 per cent drop in poverty levels. The July 24 newspaper headlines were celebratory as they reported the Planning Commission’s findings that poverty rates had declined from 37.2 per cent for the country as a whole in 2004-05. Even better was the sharp decline in rural poverty from 41.8 per cent to 25.7 per cent, while urban dipped from 25.7 per cent to 13.7 per cent. In sum, 137 million Indians were lifted out of poverty over the seven-year period.
