DEFINITION OF POVERAGE LEVEL

After the yesterday publication about the poll fraude by buying votes by promising 1 Kg rice for 0.16 euro for the pover, I was asked were are the poverty limits. For each one in THE WEST it seams to be unreachable, so you will still have to pay 1 euro for low cost rice and up to 3 euro for real Basmati.
In the Indian governement scheme , the poverty line derived from the monthly income varies from state to state and city to city:
Delhi rps 506 (= euro 8 euros per month !!!)
Mumbai: rps 540
Calcutta: rps 410
Chennai: rps 475

For Dahl the small Indian beans similar regulations are in force
