Nice to laugh but it made me think for the country’s poverty.Even as we celebrate a booming economy ,with its surplus jobs and employment opportunities,a section of our population is just waiting for a chance to earn their first salary however small it may be. Ironically, we also have the highest number of child laborers close to 17million.
India has the world,s largest number of poor people living in a single country .Out of its total population of more than 1 billion ,300to 400 million people live below poverty line .Nearly 70%of poor people live in rural areas.
