💨 Abstract

Despite Haryana having a high per capita income of Rs 3.25 lakh, approximately 75% of its 2.80 crore population falls below the poverty line, as per the state's Food and Supplies Department. This paradox has led to debates in the state assembly, with allegations of 'ghost' beneficiaries in the public distribution system and flawed poverty yardsticks.
