Money in your pocket cannot buy all the goods and services that you may
need to live well. So, income by itself is not a completely adequate
indicator of material goods and services that citizens are able to use. For
example, normally, your money cannot buy you a pollution-free
environment or ensure that you get unadulterated medicines, unless you
can afford to shift to a community that already has all these things. Money
may also not be able to protect you from infectious diseases, unless the
whole of your community takes preventive steps.
The problem does not end with Infant Mortality Rate. in Bihar are not
attending school beyond Class 8. This means that if you went to school in
Bihar more than two-thirds of your class would be missing. Those who
could have been in school are not there! If this had happened to you, you
would not be able to read what you are reading now. Actually, for many
of the important things in life the best way, also the cheapest way, is to
provide these goods and services collectively. Just think will it be cheaper
to have collective security for the whole locality or for each house to have
its own security man? What if no one, other than you, in your village or
locality is interested in studying? Would you be able to study? Not unless
your parents could afford to send you to some private school elsewhere.
