Abstract
After 72 years of independence India is still suffering from the malicious problem of hunger and poverty. In the recent report produced by International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) India ranked 100TH in terms of hungry children and women, in count and status, whereas, 21.7 percent of it’s people are below the poverty line. According to National Crime Record Bureau, in the year 2015 the total numbers of farmers who have committed suicide is 5670. A survey of FAO reveals that nearly 75 percent of food insecure and vulnerable people are directly or indirectly related to agriculture. Another report of FAO has revealed that about 78 percent of the farmers are ready to quit agriculture. This is really alarming as well as distressing while we have made a call for complete digitization to create ICT driven modern India. Even in chronic hunger India’s position is worse than African countries and also some neighbouring countries like Bangladesh. Hunger is associated with poverty that refrain poor people to accept ample of food, in quantity and quality. If hunger is the consequence, poverty is certainly the cause and if both poverty and hunger are the consequences, the silence is the cause that is invasive, intrinsic and invisible by nature (sometimes may be). Hunger is a status which makes us physiologically stressed and weak, mentally insulated and psychologically depressed. Poverty can be measured in terms of income. In other way the other forms of poverty are educational starvation, cultural deprivation and social depletion. Silence can be perceived in terms of inability of a person to raise voices against discrimination, both social and economic atrocities as well as a decision to go silent whenever it needs to utter voices. On this preamble the present study was conducted in Beraberi GP under Nadia district of WB. 150 respondents were selected purposively and they were interviewed thoroughly with a structured interview schedule. The results of the study reveals that the cobweb of hunger are poverty are creating a chaotic situation as far as the social and economic issues are concerned. Miscommunication or no communication has been triggered as the root cause of this disillusionment.
