There is a growing divergence in the relationship between poverty and hunger in India. The shrinking of social expenditure by the government is forcing the poor to spend more on non-food essential items squeezing their food-budget. — Elucidate.
हिन्दी
भारत में निर्धनता और भूख के बीच संबंध में एक बढ़ता हुआ अंतर है। सरकार द्वारा सामाजिक व्यय को संकुचित किए जाना, निर्धनों को अपने खाद्य बजट को निचोड़ते हुए खाद्येतर अत्यावश्यक मदों पर अधिक व्यय करने के लिए मजबूर कर रहा है। स्पष्ट कीजिए।
