Summary, etc. This book deals with the myth about Indian concepts, approach and definitions of poverty. By using new approach it also attempts to explain the reality-that poverty is not decreasing from the country but an overestimate of the number of people uplifted from poverty. If the so called definition of poverty based on per capita monthly private household consumption expenditure is not fixed at a rate commensu rate with decency of living standard then the number of people below poverty line will automatically be less than earlier estimates.<br/><br/>What is new in this book? Answer is that this book provides new methodology to measure rate of poverty eradication, elasti city of poverty eradication with reference to NSDP for different states. Another major contribution is that this book reveals how the widening gap between rate of growth of per capita NNP and per capita poverty line leads to decrease in number of people below poverty. Using initially published data about proportion of poor in different states, the author has in this book forecast approximate number of people below poverty line who will be in 2000 AD in different states.<br/><br/>Contents include: Implication of Poverty Definition; World Poverty; Starva tion in India; Economics at Flaw; Food Pro duction in India; Measuring the Rate of Poverty Eradication; Statewise Poverty in India; Nutrition and Relevance to Poverty; Economic Welfare and Deprivation; Entitle ment, Accessibility and Earnings; Multitude. of Vicious Circles; Poverty and Relevance of Development; Myth and Reality of Trickle Down; etc. This book will be useful to all non agencies (NGOS), State government welfare departments, researchers, economists, bureaucrats, students, etc.
