Poverty and unemployment are demons in today’s world, said general secretary of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Dattatreya Hosabale on Sunday. He added that even after India managed to grow to a great extent economically, economic inequality is a matter of concern.
“Even when India has managed to be among the top-6 economies in the world, we can’t say all is well. One percentage of rich population in India holds 20% of the country’s wealth while 50% has 13% of wealth. We must do something about this economic inequality,” he said at a webinar organised by RSS-affiliate Swadeshi Jagran Manch as part of its Swavalambi Bharat Abhiyaan (self-reliance campaign).
