- Even with positive economic developments, still large sector of people struggle to get good education due to their weak financial situation.
- Though the middle class has gained from recent positive economic developments, India suffers from substantial poverty. According to World Bank’s latest estimates on poverty based on 2005 data, India has 456 million people, 41.6% of its population, living below the new international poverty line of $1.25 (PPP) per day. The World Bank further estimates that 33% of the global poor now reside in India. (Courtesy: Wikipedia)
