The Rangarajan Committee, which has suggested a new benchmark for describing poverty, came under attack from political parties, which said it amounted to "mocking at the poor" and makes neither "common sense" nor "economic sense". However, C Rangarajan defended his panel's report...........
The very purpose of VITALINFO is to provide a platform for wider dissemination of updated information related to and happening of events in and around RBI.

Dr Rangarajan knows that there is one stream of research called 'Action-Research'. Perhaps before finalising the figures on poverty in rural and urban areas, the committee members including Dr Rangarajan should have gone to rural areas (even nearer his home town Ariyalur in T.N) and stayed there for atleast 15 day with Rs.480 (t Rs.32 a day) and another fifteen days in urban area with Rs.705/-(at Rs.47 a day).
In India, it is sad that the intelligentsia that has failed the poor. Most honest is among the poor and in villages.
