India can easily afford itBy: rk | Saturday , 15 Nov '08 18:10:48 PM Reply | Forward india just spent 60,000 crores (12 billion dollars) for a farm loan waiver scheme not to speak of almost 100 billion dollars (500,000 crores) spent annually under the union budget by the government on various poverty alleviation schemes. there is plenty of money for all these. the delivery mechanisms need radical improvement. but there is absolutely no shortage of money for the poor in india. so those foolish people who believe india should not spend 500 crores (86 million dollars) on chandrayaan have some kind of inferiority complex which makes them cynical and blind to truth and to isro's commendable achievement. otherwise 86 million dollars is less than 0.1 per cent of just money spent on poverty alleviation, which is not even peanuts for india. the same sort of cynical people had earlier said that india being a 'poor' nation should not have mobile phones or the internet. such self-defeating people are the main problem in india as much as poverty.
