In a country of over 121 crore people, where 83.3 crore live in rural areas and the rest stay in urban areas, only about 22% of the population is considered to be below the poverty line. The continuing urbanisation has indeed contributed to creating more opportunities for the people. On the other hand, some sectors like agriculture have also suffered. However, the question remains the same – how do we make India more self-sustainable?
During my recent experiences, while working with Chaitanya in tribal/rural areas of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, I was able to dig deep into relevant statistics, government schemes and their impacts. Our special focus is on educating women and promoting savings as a habit. One such scheme is on micro-finance, which has been debated enough by economists and banks. However, it has indeed shown strong positives.
