A new survey by the National Sample Survey Office for the year 2009 -10 has revealed that more than 60 per cent of the population in rural India lives on less than Rs 35 a day, while the same number of people in urban India live on less than Rs 66 a day. Activists claim these numbers have exposed the lopsided development in the country and highlighted the need for urgent action.
