गरीबी अमीरी की विषमता

भारत में सुपर अमीरी परिवारों की संख्या अगले पांच वर्षो में तिगुनी हो जाएगी| ऐसा अनुमान किये गए एक अध्यन के आधार पर लगाया जा रहा है| ऐसे सुपर अमीर परवारों के लिए अध्यनकर्ताओं ने यूएचएनएच जैसे टर्म का इस्तेमाल किया गया है| जिसका मतलब है अल्ट्रा हाई नेटवर्क हाउसहोल्ड | मोटेतौर पर इसका आशय उन परवारों से है, जो साल में कम से कम 25 करोड़ रूपए अपने घरेलू बजट एं खर्च करते है| ये 25 करोड़ रूपए किसी संयुक्त परिवार के लिए नही, बल्कि नियुकिलेर परवारों के लिए है और इनमें निवेश या कारोबारी खर्च शामिल नही है|

रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक अभी यहाँ लगभग 62 हजार इसी सुपर ग्रेह्स्थियाँ हैं, जो 2015-16 तक बढ़ कर लगभग सवा दो लाख हो जाएगी | पहले एस तरह की रिपोर्ट पढ़ कर लोग झूम उठते थे| उन्हे लगता था की देश कितनी तेजी से तरक्की कर रहा है हम न सही दूसरी तोह एस ऊँचाई को छूने लगे हैं|

लेकिन अब लोगो इसी स्थिति से जोड़ कर देखते हैं| सुपर परिवारों के बढने से लक्जरी मार्केट में रोनक जरुर आएगी| ज्यादा सुपर अमीर परिवार यानि महंगी चीजो की ज्यादा खरीदारी |लेकिन आम भारतियों के लिए यह एक नेगटिव खबर है देश की विकास दर का अनुमान 7 से 9 प्रतिशत के बिच झूल रहा है | यदि यह 10 प्रतिशत भी हो जाये तोह जीडीपी 5 साल में 50 प्रतिशत बढ़ जायेगा| लेकिन सुपर परिवारों के तिगुना होने का मतलब है उनके खर्चों में तीन सौ प्रतिशन की वृद्धि | देश में खादय सुरक्षा की स्थिति पर चार रिपोर्टे उपलब्ध है |

अर्जुन सेनगुप्ता कमेटी की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक यहाँ 77 प्रतिशत परिवार गरीबी रेखा के निचे है, सुरेश तेंदुलकर समिति के अनुसार 37.2, एन सी सक्सेना समिति के अनुसार 50 और योजना आयोग के मुताबिक 27.5 प्रतिशत| एक मोटे अनुमान के मुताबिक विकास की मौजूदा रफ़्तार से लगभग 30 करोड़ लोग 2025 तक सिर्फ गरीबी रेखा से उपर आ सकेंगे| यानी गरीबी के दायरे में आने वाले लोगों की अच्छी- खासी तद्दाद अब से 14 साल बाद भी बनी रहेगी |

इसका मतलब साफ़ है, जी डी पी में होनी वाली बढ़ोतरी का लाभ सब तक सामान रूप से नही पहुँच रहा है और हमारे समाज में विषमता आने वाले दिनों में कम होने के बजाय और बढेगी , तोह फिर ख़ुशी किस पर मनाये|

Members of the Save Indian Family Foundation, All India Mother In Law Protection Forum and Child Rights Initiative for Share Parenting, Chandigarh chapter have extended their support to Baba Ramdev in fight the corruption and have decided to boycott the upcoming Elections.

The members the NGOs this evening announced unconditional support in the city to Baba Ramdev, who was forcibly taken into custody by the Delhi Police. Gaurav Saini, co-ordination, Save Indian Family Foundation speaking to media at Shanti Kunj, Sector 16 today said, “The entire happenings of last night are completely un-constitutional. Peaceful protest is an important component of every Democracy. The Govt has tried to suppress the voice of the nation.”

"We have extended our moral support to Ramdev and we will boycott the upcoming Municiapl Corporation election and the Assembly Elections scheduled for early next year," added Mrs Manjit Puri, President, All India Mothers-in-law Protection Forum.

“Baba issue has gained momentum as a National issue now and no Indian citizen stay immune of this phenomenon. It is the movement for truth. We extend un-conditional support to Baba Ramdev and will observe fasts till all the demands are agreed by the Government. The Central Government is exploiting the whole country with a new scam mushrooming every other day. Atleast now we can do something for our country by voting this party out from our system completely”, said the members.

The members also distributed stickers in offices and shops to make people aware of the menace of corruption.

"If Annaji can join an indefinite fast at the age of 73 then why cant we do the same. We will spread the message of corruption-free India and try to raise maximum support for Baba Ramdev’s movement. We have decided that the entire SIFF and AIMPF will join his movement along with civil society to take this issue to its final conclusion. We were shocked about the kind of action that was taken against Ramdev. Not only was he arrested but women and children who were participating in the fast were beaten up which reminds me of the Jallianwala Bagh incident in Punjab during the British rule," added Manjit Puri (President All India Mother In Law Protection Forum) while representing the members of the three organization. Over 70 activists from all walks of life were present for the protest.
