The food security bill is already in vogue in many of the states and Rice or wheat are made available at less than Rs 3 a kg to the masses . As long as corruption and leakage are not controlled, the suffering of the poorest of the poor in the economy will continue and Prof Amartya Sen should understand the real problems of the economy and its people. The data capturing in India is so poor that as on today there are no dependable estimates of the people below poverty line. A visit to southern States will prove that the poverty as understood by Amartya sen perhaps is not visible is a fact. Deaths do not occur because of poverty is the ground reality, but people do suffer for want of food, shelter and clothing in many of the states because of poor administration, malpractices observed in the distribution of food grains, corruption., greed for accumulation of wealth at any cost. Can any One bring any Solution to these?
