Two Typical Cases of Poverty
Two Typical Cases of Poverty
Poverty is the most difficult challenge faced by independent India. Poverty is a condition in which a person lacks the financial resources and essentials things to enjoy minimum standards of life. Poor people can be landless labourers in villages, jhuggi and slum dwellers in cities and towns, daily wage workers at construction sites, child workers in dhabas or even beggars. India has the largest single concentration of the poor in the world, where every fourth person is poor.
Two typical cases of poverty: The following two cases show the many dimensions of poverty, including lack of proper food, shelter, healthcare, education as well as clean water and sanitation. They also show lack of a regular means of livelihood.
1. Urban Case: Ram Saran is a daily wage labourer in a flour mill near Ranchi in Jharkhand. He earns around 1500 per month when employed. He supports his family of 6 persons, besides sending some money to his elderly parents. His wife and son also work, but none of his 4 children can attend school. The family lives in a one-room rented house on the outer areas of the city. The children are undernourished, have very few clothes or footwear and no access to healthcare.
2. Rural Case: Lakha Singh is a landless labourer in a small village near Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. By doing odd jobs for farmers, he earns 50 per day. Sometimes, he gets some foodgrain or other item instead of cash. He is not literate and his family of 8 people lives in a kuchha hut near the edge of the village. They have no access to healthcare, cannot afford new clothes or even soap or oil.
