BY ST.VINCENTS HIGH SCHOOL. POVERTY IN INDIA…. DEFINATION OF POVERTY… Poverty in India can be defined as a situation when a certain section of people are unable to fulfill their basic needs.

The problem is universal but in our case it is more crucial.  Martin Ravallion. . Georgetown University course ECON 156: Poverty and Inequality. Lecture notes to accompany . Ravallion’s. .
