Now that the poverty numbers have been accepted globally, here’s another common question from critics: If poverty has fallen so dramatically, why do 80 crore Indians receive food subsidies?
Because social protection is not the same as poverty alleviation!
Public social spending (% of GDP):
🇫🇮 Finland: 31.4%
🇩🇰 Denmark: 26.4%
🇸🇪 Sweden: 26.1%
🇳🇴 Norway: 24.1%
🇬🇧 UK: 23%
India spends just 0.6% on food subsidies.
A welfare state is not merely a poverty-relief programme. #ViksitBharat🇮🇳

At 74, Rantabali Ghosh wakes up at 5:30 AM to bring smiles to Kolkata’s streets, one Alpona at a time! 🎨❤️ What began as a simple initiative to surprise neighbours has become a beautiful mission to preserve Bengal’s traditional Alpona art. From decorating dilapidated houses to bringing joy to elderly couples and slum residents, her artwork proves that art knows no boundaries. Inspired by her grandmother and Rabindranath Tagore’s artistic legacy, she hopes to revive a fading Bengali tradition. Her message? Modernisation matters, but why should we forget our cultural roots?
