China Lifting more than 800 Million people out of poverty, a great story in human history – World Bank

China, Poverty

The following report of the World Bank shows that 90 crore poor people in China have been lifted out of poverty. China was called the country with the maximum poor people. After the Communist Party took over the country, great changes have been made. Removal of poverty as reported by the World bank, is a great great achievement. The PTI report from Washington is given below:

PTI
Washington, Oct 12: China lifting more than 800 million people out of poverty since the start of its economic reform is a “great story in human history”, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said today, underlining that there is “lessons to be learned” from this Chinese experience.

“This is one of the great stories in human history, frankly,” Kim told reporters at the start of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Starting in 1990 with the evolution of the Chinese economic system and its embrace of the global market China has lifted over 800 million out of poverty, he said.

“So, most of the progress that’s been made in going from 40 per cent of the world living in extreme poverty to now less than 10 per cent…most of that progress happened in China.

So, we’re always looking for the lessons from that experience and it continues,” Kim said in response to a question.

The World Bank, he said, has been working very closely with China on things like ensuring that some of the more distant regions in China are also getting access to social services and healthcare.

“It is working right now on a pilot project on healthcare system. If it works out it could lead to a major change in the healthcare system that would help to improve outcomes overall,” he said.

“So, this effort has been historic. I think we’re still trying to understand exactly how 800 million people were lifted out of poverty, but it was one of the great successes,” Kim said.

Meghdhoot Bhawan is located at Puza Road (Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Road) and on the metro line between Rajiv Chowk (Cannaught Place) and Dwaraka. The nearest Metro Station is Jhandewalan and is less than 2 kms from Rajiv chowk. Those who come from Rajiv Chowk may please get down at Jhandewalan and walk back a few steps to reach Meghdhoot Bhawan and similarly those come from Dwaraka side, may also get down at Jhandewalan and walk a few steps ahead towards Rajiv Chowk. The Dharna will commence at 11.00 AM and we shall conclude the same latest by 3.30 PM. Meghdhoot Bhawan is just opposite to Pillar No. 56 of Rajiv Chowk-Dwaraka metro line. Those who do require accommodation for 25th night, may kindly contact Com. Deep Chand, Com. Shankar Pal Singh, Com. Rajinder Prasad, whose numbers are given in our last circular letter.

Air India privatisation should be stalled

Air india, Protest against privatisation

 

The prime air carrier of Government of India, Air India, is on the brink of being privatised. The government has already started preparations for the same. The highly profitable Air India was made loss making due to the wrong policies and actions of the government including the controversial Air India- Indian Airlines Merger, purchase  of 111 planes, while only 35 were operationally required etc. etc. Large mount of unpaid airfare charges by the Ministers, government officers etc. is another reason. And now the move is to privatise it.

It is reported that all the unions of employees  in Air India are meeting to discuss about how to stall the process of privatisation. Well and good. Let us hope that strong protest and struggle will be planned and organised against the anti-PSU policy of the Modi Government.

Our solidarity and support to the struggle of the Air India workers.
