South Asia 5% poor in India? Union govt claim debunked, '26.4% of population below poverty line'

[Krishna with Flute]

Hunger poverty eliminated totally in India?

That is news to me.

Global Hunger Index still (2024) scores India's status at number 105, even worse than Rwanda, Ethiopia and Angola.

Bangladesh is ranked at number 81.

These people must be liars then.

The paper is authored by Surjit S Bhalla, International Monetary Fund Executive Director for India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan, Arvind Virmani, former chief economic adviser to the Government of India and New York-based economist Karan Bhasin. But it is a working paper, which means it has not been peer reviewed and the International Monetary Fund has emphasised that views expressed in the paper “do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF, its executive board, or IMF management”.

Economist and Political Analyst Ajit Ranade, who is also the Vice-Chancellor of Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, raised several questions on the viability of this finding. “If poverty is so low, and inequality is declining, why then is the government persisting with the free food scheme?... Why is there a flurry of welfare spending on free cooking gas cylinders, to cash transfer to farmer households and now free electricity in states like Punjab? Why has India’s hunger index worsened in 2021? It ranks 101 out of 116 countries. Can poverty decline to nearly zero and yet hunger and malnutrition increase? Why does an advertisement for a mere hundred government ‘secure’ jobs attract millions of overqualified applicants?,” Ranade wrote in The Times of India.

Fact check: Has extreme poverty in India really dropped below 1%, as a new IMF paper claims?

Economists are sceptical of the claim that the country’s food security scheme helped avert a rise in extreme poverty. Here’s why.

It is well-known that Surjit Valla at IMF as well as Chief Economist Gita Gopinath are all very cozy with Modi and his team - she and Surjit would accede to what Modi wants as far as positive opinions for political purposes in India. She (and IMF) would not dare to anger Modi.

Here is Gopinath with Kristalina Georgieva who is MD of IMF and Modi, its clear to see who is in Modi's payroll

Whether it is IMF or WB or Microsoft or Google, it is all run by Indians. To fir Indian hi hoge na @Bilal9 bhai. Koi Pakistani ya Bangladeshi thode hi hoga. If anything is bad about India, any source is acceptable. Any dam Sh**r NGO report is ok but.......

Well then - maybe not distribute all this khairati and keep some for your own. Your claims are your claims and GHI numbers are real numbers. No arguing with that.

you still dont get it ... rather dont want to aknowledge the fact that all these so called HUNGER or DEMOCRATIC or FREEDOM OF PRESS TYPE INDEX's are just PROPOGANDDA TOOLs of the MEDIA MANGEMENT devision of DEEP STATE ECOSYSTEM & we In INDIA HAVE STOPPED TAKING THEM SERIOUSLY

Thik hai as you lot wish.

The entire world deep state ecosystem is gearing up to defame and destroy India the superpower.

Though what they'd gain from it remains unclear.

These our Bangladeshi, Chinese friends are auditors. They are here to point out problems in India. They don't have anything good to eat but they will give all advice to India and other genuine democracies like Israel, US etc. about everything. More hungry they are, more they will advice. Do you know, the electricity they were purchasing from Adani and which was disconnected by Yunus, they want it to be restored. They say that they will do all pending payment soon. Sari hekadi nikal gayi hai. Chavala bhi chahiye. Boycott India is finished.

Even Indian Dalits are far batter than Chinese people. They have decent food to eat and they are not slave of any dictator.

I heard that in India. Even 50% of cities do not have tap water. If Indians do not support Modi. Modi will send the Shiva army for global assassination. Is this real? @Bilal9
