For those who do n’t what is meant by Per Capita income Read this
Though Per Capita income has increased this does n’t necessarily mean that poverty is decreasing.. this may be also due to huge difference between the Rich and Poor.
For E.g
If there are 10 persons and their total income is Rs10000
then PerCapita income is Rs 1000
But in this group of 10 persons,One Earns 9100 per year whereas all others earn 100 per year..So in this 9 are in Poverty.This may be also India’s case
