"INDIA IS FACING THE PROBLEM OF POVERT."

THERE WILL BE A DEBATE ON THE GIVEN TOPIC IN MY CLASS AND I HAVE TO SPEAK AGAINST IT.

PLEASE HELP ME IN GETTING SOME POINTS..

First of all India's measure of poverty is not up to the mark. The base year taken is still 1973-74.Moreover, only calorie intake cannot determine the level. Poverty is a comprehensive and a comparative concept. Comparative disadvantage is what should be talked about. So, when the way it is measured is not correct how can one say about if poverty is a problem or not.

Secondly, the incidence of poverty is highest among the informal sector but the point to be considered is the informal sector’s activities are hardly recorded and again due to lack of information the statement becomes weak.
