Who cares for poor people

Such is the state:

About 32% of people below 1.25 $ or about 75 Rs / day or about Rs 2250 / month
About 68% of people below 2 $ or about 120 Rs / day or about Rs 3600 / month
About 97% of people below 5 $ or about 300 Rs / day or about Rs 9000 / month

And the result:

People suffer miserably with lack of food, water, education, healthcare, proper house, sanitation. They suffer from malnutrition, diseases, illiteracy and lack of basic amenities. A miserable life pushing them towards either crimes or suicide.

Are these not human beings? 

What is nation doing? Where are the caretakers ? where are the four pillars of democracy?

And this is true under governance of all political parties so it is not a question of who is better. This is national problem and everyone one feel the urgency to work on this.

Why it is so difficult to eradicate poverty. If the caretakers work wisely and sincerely then it is possible to eradicate poverty in a period few years.

It needs following :

- Honesty in approach towards poverty
- Will to eradicate poverty
- Wisdom to make time bound poverty eradication programs

Unfortunately all three are missing. And till this is missing, nothing will change.
