80 crores.. I suspect that many are getting free ration baba... GOI said they have reduced poverty a lot...Growth rests with the policy making domain - government.
Ask the Gobermint what it is doing to fuel growth and bring back some normalcy so that 80 crore people don't have to depend on free Government rations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India#cite_note-4According to an International Monetary Fund paper, extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as living on US$1.9 or less in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms, in India was as low as 0.8% in 2019 and the country managed to keep it at that level in 2020 despite the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. [1][2] According to World Bank, extreme poverty has reduced by 12.3% between 2011 and 2019 from 22.5% in 2011 to 10.2% in 2019. A working paper of the bank said rural poverty declined from 26.3% in 2011 to 11.6% in 2019. The decline in urban areas was from 14.2% to 6.3% in the same period.The poverty level in rural and urban areas went down by 14.7 and 7.9 percentage points, respectively.[3] According to United Nations Development Programme administrator Achim Steiner, India lifted 271 million people out of extreme poverty in a 10-year time period from 2005–2006 to 2015–2016. A 2020 study from the World Economic Forum found "Some 220 million Indians sustained on an expenditure level of less than Rs 32 / day—the poverty line for rural India—by the last headcount of the poor in India in 2013."[4]
Fact remains that some babu's & netas are getting rich in this ponzi scheme of 80 crores..
