Income - Poverty and Beyond emphasizes the need to go beyond the
conventional definition of poverty and look at the various human
aspects of the problem. Eminent social scientists such as Suresh
Tendulkar, Abusaleh Shariff, R Radhakrishna, M S S
Meenakshisundaram, Seeta K Prabhu, Ravi Srivastava and the editors,
Raja J Chelliah and R Sudarshan, take a comprehensive view of
poverty to include the concept of human poverty, seen as the the
denial of opportunities and choices most basic to human
development'. Special care has been taken to make the information
and analysis accessible to the general reader. Using the latest
available data for India as well as edited versions of papers
commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for
a South-Asia poverty monitor, the broad conclusion that has emerged
is that more public action is needed to counter the high prevalence
of human poverty. Therefore, current measures to reduce
income-poverty, including high rates of economic growth, are not
sufficient. The first two chapters dwell on the concept of
income-poverty, interstate and intergroup disparities and poverty
trends in India over the decade 198394. This is followed by an
examination of human development in rural India, availability of
food to the poor, various programmes aimed at removing poverty, the
indices of human poverty and public financing of social services,
human priority expenditures, and human expenditure ratios for the
Indian states. The perceptions of the poor in assessing their own
poverty and in developing policies to improve their status are
discussed, and an epilogue appeals to the national and
international community to take serious note of human poverty in
the midst of which we all live.
