    • Abstract:
      The article reports that in no Asian country is the need to address poverty so pressing as in India because some 250 million Indians still live in grinding poverty, making it the country with the largest population of poor people in the world. The budget presented in February 2005 by Palaniappan Chidambaram, Minister of Finance, is the most ambitious effort to channel India's robust economic growth into solving its most enduring problem.
