Measurements of Absolute Poverty
Poverty Line: Monthly consumption expenditure used of households to fulfill basic minimum requirements in terms of nutrition, clothing, education, health, etc. It is threshold consumption expenditure.
a. It may be too crude
b. It doesn’t measure the depth of poverty

HeadCount Ratio: No of BPL households/ No of Total households => This ratio tells about the incidence of poverty

Poverty Gap: Simple Average of gaps over the entire population (APL Gap = 0)

Poverty Gap Index: Poverty Gap / Poverty Line

Note that: Same Head Count Ratio but higher Poverty Gap Index => More is the depth of poverty

Group Of Frogs- An inspirational story

Group Of Frogs- An inspirational story Some frogs were traveling through woods and two of them accidentally fell into a pit. The other frogs which were safe upside understood how deep the pit was and saw no hope for the frogs to escape out of it. Both of these frogs started trying to get out of the pit but failed many times. The frogs on the safe side shouted at them to give up the pain of trying as it was not possible. Eventually, one frog heard the other frogs and decided to stop trying and fell down to death. However, the other frog went on trying and at last managed to reach the top. The other frogs asked him, “Did you not hear us?” He explained that he was deaf and thought other frogs were encouraging him to get out. Moral of the Story:  Some people around you may ask you to be on a safer side always and stop trying and taking risks. However, there is no gain without pain. So try hard to achieve success in life despite what life offers you. More Blog

5 Necessary Steps to Achieve Your Dream: If you have been struggling with achievement, look through the following. Begin to apply them and you will be on the road to achieving your dream. Step 1: Dream it. Everything begins in the heart and mind. Every great achievement began in the mind of one person. They dared to dream, to believe that it was possible. Think big. Don’t let negative thinking discourage you. If you had a dream that you let grow cold, re-ignite the dream! Fan the flames. Life is too short to let it go. Step 2: Believe it. Yes, your dream needs to be big. It needs to be something that is seemingly beyond your capabilities. But it also must be believable. You must be able to say that if certain things take place, if others help, if you work hard enough, though it is a big dream, it can still be done. Step 3: Plan it. Every dream must take the form of a plan. The old saying that you “get what you plan for” is so true. Your dream won’t just hap
