During the Corona epidemic, where on the one hand there was a crisis of food and drink in front of the poor in the country, on the other hand, the number of billionaires rich in the country has increased during this period.
According to a report by NGO Oxfam India, while the income of 84 percent of households in India declined in 2021, the number of Indian billionaires increased from 102 to 142.
Today is the first day of the World Economic Forum 2022. On this occasion, Oxfam India has released the Annual Inequality Survey. According to this, the total wealth of Indian billionaires doubled during the Corona period. Their wealth can be gauged from the fact that the top-10 rich have so much wealth that they can run all the schools and colleges of the country for the next 25 years.
45% money is with only 10% of the people
Due to Corona, inequality has increased so much that 10% of the richest people of the country have 45% of the country's wealth. At the same time, 50% of the poor population of the country has only 6% wealth.
1% tax will get 17.7 lakh extra oxygen cylinders
The report said that if 1% additional tax is imposed on the top 10% of India's rich people, then the country will get 17.7 lakh extra oxygen cylinders from that money. At the same time, if 1% extra tax is imposed on 98 rich families of the country, then with that money the Ayushman Bharat program can be run for the next seven years. Ayushman Bharat is the largest health insurance program in the world.
Wealth equal to 55.5 crore poor people on 98 rich people of the country
