Steno Kailash Chandra Vol-24 Dictation No. 415

Sir, 80 per cent of this country's population lives in villages and a majority of them are landless labourers and marginal farmers. Out of this 80 per cent that is 70 crores of rural population more than 30 crores are landless labourers. They live below the poverty line. Really speaking, there is no legal provision for their well-being and welfare. The urban labour is less than 10 crores and the Government has taken many steps and measures for their well-being and upliftment.
