Recent estimates show while all India Head Count Ratio (HCR) was 21.9 percent in 2011-12 states like Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha had above all India poverty level. Bihar and Odisha continue to be the two poorest states with poverty ratios of 33.7 and 32.6 percent respectively.

He had to call a meeting of the Estates-General (a political body) which would then pass his proposals for new taxes. The population of France rose rapidly between 1715 and 1789 which led to a rapid increase in the demand for foodgrains. Due to lack of supply to meet this demand, the prices of bread which was the staple diet of the majority rose rapidly. Most workers had fixed their wages which did not keep pace with the rising prices. The gap between the poor and the rich widened. Things became worse whenever drought or hail reduced the harvest. This led to a subsistence crisis, something that occurred frequently in France during the Old Regime.

    1. Seasonal unemployment: ISeasonal unemployment happens when people are not able to find jobs during some months of the year. People dependant upon agriculture usually face such kind of problem. There are certain busy seasons when sowing, harvesting, weeding, threshing is done. Certain months do not provide much work to the people dependant on agriculture.
    2. Disguised unemployment: This occurs when all the members of a family of a small farmer are working in the fields, but all may not be required. Similar is the case of family-owned shops, where all family members may be working at the shop, but all are not required. Actually, they are working at less than full productivity.

    Disadvantages of unemployment are:

    1. It is a wastage of manpower and human resource.
    2. It increases economic overload in the country.
    3. It tends to increase the number of the dependent population.
    4. Increase in unemployment is an indicator of a depressed economy.
    5. It also affects the standard of living and health conditions of the people as they are not even able to fulfill the basic necessities of their lives.
37. Due to following reasons we accept even today the Constitution made by the Constituent Assembly more than 60 years ago:
    1. India is a land of diversity that is visible in the matters of caste, religion, region, language, economic status, etc. In such a huge diversity conflict are inevitable. But, the Constitution of India protects the interests of every section of society and laid the foundation for a harmonious society.
    2. India has experience of long colonial past and it remained a victim of colonial exploitations for centuries. But, after the implementation of the Constitution, we are sovereign which means no external powers can regulate us in any matters.
    3. The Constitution of India has a flexible nature that opens enough scope for amendments if required for the welfare of its citizens. To maintain law and order, the dignity and rights of the citizens, the Constitution made some provisions for the amendment from time to time.

    OR
