infrastructure. In August 2005, the Parliament of India, in response to theperceived failure of economic growth to generate employment for the rural poor, passed the Ru-ral Employment Guarantee Bill into law, guaranteeing 100 days of minimum wage employmentto every rural household in all the districts of India. The Parliament of India also refused to ac-cept Union Government's argument that it had taken adequate measures to reduce incidence ofpoverty in India. The question of whether economic reforms have reduced poverty has beenstrongly debated. Recent statistics of 2010 point out that the number of high income householdshas exceeded lower income households.In recent years, there has been a greater acknowledgement of the value of higher education
