Nothing is being done!<br /><br />(2) We need to safeguard food grains we grow in our country. We let hundreds of thousands of tonnes of food grain rot every year. Nothing is being done to prevent rotting of grains.<br /><br />(3) Food Security Bill: If we take care of above problems then there will be no need of Food Security Bill at all! If implemented, I am worried that:<br /><br />(a) It will open up avenue for yet another mega scam<br />(b) It will have detrimental effect on our already troubled economy<br />(c) Tax burden on all of us will increase.<br /><br />For defining Poverty Line, we must take various aspects and not just the calorie, which human needs for surviving, into consideration. These may include:<br /><br />(1) Cost of Food<br />(2) Cost of Water and Electricity<br />(3) Cost of Heath Care and Hygiene<br />(4) Cost of Cooking Fuel<br />(5) Cost of Residing<br />(6) Cost of Education for ChildrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-12768169849009799162011-09-27T13:06:45.074+05:302011-09-27T13:06:45.074+05:30Even their dogs would be having a better amount sp...Even their dogs would be having a better amount spent on a per day basis...but common man is a rung lower on ladder for these people...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-54657072484948232812011-09-27T12:59:48.123+05:302011-09-27T12:59:48.123+05:30even their dogs would be having a better amount sp...even their dogs would be having a better amount spent on a per day basis...But common man is a rung lower on the ladder for these people....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-82052537791875636242011-09-26T18:11:54.194+05:302011-09-26T18:11:54.194+05:30MONTEK SINGH is very good in his work except 1 thi...MONTEK SINGH is very good in his work except 1 thing that he is poor with mathematics while doing calculations for others (Poor People)....... when it comes to his own pocket he calculates very wisely.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-14547858525208189762011-09-26T10:43:08.663+05:302011-09-26T10:43:08.663+05:30Hi All,

For few days our media, intelligentsia people will shed crocodile tears. If you want to know poverty then no need to go to rural areas. I know all hunky funky educated people will have problems to travel where there is no roads,electricity. SO i am suggesting better search in metro then defien the criteria.Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856494316652966669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-32155705036580647662011-09-25T21:10:18.443+05:302011-09-25T21:10:18.443+05:30This is preciously what happens when you make your...This is preciously what happens when you make your calculations under extraneous pressures and sitting in air conditioned rooms getting fat salaries for the job and cars to pick you up and drop. Even a person like Roy has sold herself shows the power of the ruling class and their potential to manipulate effectively. I would advise the whole NAC to be divided into two groups one going to rural area with Rs.25 per day per person for one week and the other spending one week in the urban area with Rs.31 per day per person basis. One group to be headed by Sonia Gandhi and the other by Montek Singh. I am pretty sure within a week they will have to drastically revise their data about BPL. These politicians have completely lost touch with the ground realities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-2313258004420399722011-09-25T10:30:56.429+05:302011-09-25T10:30:56.429+05:30Montek Singh and the economic adviser kaushik basu...Montek Singh and the economic adviser kaushik basu must be sacked first.<br /><br />they are just warming the seats and every time you ask, they give vague replies saying there is no solution.
