Income Levels and Poverty:
With over a quarter of the world's poor concentrated in India, poverty is the government's biggest priority.
Classified as a "low income" country by the World Bank with a GNI (gross national income) of $450. Great inequality in the distribution of wealth: the richest tenth of households hold 33% of wealth, while the poorest tenth only hold 3% 29% of the population lives below the poverty line; 70% of these people reside in rural areas 86% of the population lives under $2 per day; 44% lives under $1 per day 25% of the population does not have enough money to eat adequately Because of the high levels of poverty in the countryside, huge numbers of migrants are flocking to the cities in search of a job and a better life. The cities cannot support this swelling much longer, meaning that rural living must be improved to retain people.
