Atulya Bharat, part 1
by Ritwik on September 22, 2011
Set poverty line at Rs. 31
“Target” subsidy schemes to the “genuinely” poor – those earning less than Rs. 31/day
Make mandatory “hi-tech” id cards to check “pilferage”. After all the non-poor [those earning >Rs. 31/day] are stealing grains allocated for the poor
Allow millions of tonnes of grains in FCI godowns to go waste, year after year due to lack of storage facilities. While people starve of hunger, year after year.
Acquire cultivable land, and build swanky housing complexes, swanky malls, swanky tanning clubs, and swanky hospitals which cater to “medical tourists”
India is well on its way to achieving a place at the “high table” of the “comity of nations”

One more of your ‘spur of the moment’ pieces. The Hindu cartoon today shows the BPL nonsense going down the Quota way.
