Question

is true or false with reason

Answer 1

Answer:

The given statement is false as there have been different factors (like massive rate of growth of population, unequal distribution of wealth, skewed benefits accruing from green revolution etc.) due to which benefits of increase in the Gross Domestic Product have not trickled down completely to the people at the bottom of population pyramid.

Answer 2

The statement is false.

• Since independence, the benefit of an increase in economic growth in India has trickled down to the people at the bottom of the population pyramid the given statement is false.
• The population pyramid refers to different sections of society.
• The bottom of the pyramid of population means that the low-income group can also be called the people who are below the poverty line.
• Since independence, the country has seen economic growth, but its benefit was not equally distributed therefore the first five-year plan includes equity and growth.
• Equity means equality.
• Growth means progress.
• Equity and growth state that the benefit of growth should be distributed equally words the benefit of growth should reach all sections of society.
• Thus, the benefit of economic growth in India did not directly help people below the population pyramid as the benefit was concentrated in some sections of society.
