India Rising: Rural India has more Crorepati(10 millionaires) density than Urban India; Kolkata beats Bangalore & Hyderabad put together
According to NCAER survey Delhi and Mumbai continue to be the major centres of wealth in India, accounting for half of the roughly 20,000 crorepati (owner of 10 million Rs. or more) households in India.
Kolkata, often thought as a has-been city, has more crorepati households than Bangalore and Hyderabad put together. 180 households of every million households in Kolkata are crorepati compared with 113 for every million in Bangalore.
Rajesh Shukla, senior fellow at NCAER, says the biggest myth the survey shatters is that the country’s wealth resides in cities. Rural India has a larger crorepati density than urban India.
In Haryana, for instance, the number of rural households with annual incomes above Rs 1 crore is more than the number of crorepati urban homes. In fact, with 482 crorepatis, rural Haryana beats Bangalore, which has only 137 crorepatis. In Punjab there are almost as many crorepatis in the villages and small towns (those with less than 5 lakh population) than in the bigger cities.
350 of every million households in small towns have a Rs 1-crore-plus annual income, considerably higher than the proportion in metros like Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
This is a sure sign of India rising (again). Rural India controls the fate of this country. Unless the poor, the down-trodden are brought on equal footing with the rest, this country cannot rise. They are the heart and soul of India. No amount of cyber-riches can remedy that.

I am Satisfied sending my son in Luzhou Medical College.
I send my Son in Year 2004 to Study MBBS in Luzhou Medical College thorugh Speed International (P.) Ltd., Nepal. From the very begining I am very much satisfied with the college. My son Arphaan never complained about anything related to Luzhou Medical College. Also he got Scholarship in First Year. In the begining weeks he had complain about food, but gradually that also he stop complaining. Now he is adjsuted totally.
Leaving home, father and mother every kid always have some prob. But its ok,,, his study is good and teaching faculty are good tooo, all are experienced and caring to the international students. I got an oppurtunity to meet the delegation headed by President of Luzhou Medical College. During the meet they were very coardial and hopefull for the international students. The FAO director knew the name of the every students, and was very concerned about the syllabus difference between Nepal and China, After there visit they have improoved the syllabus according to Nepal Medical Council requirement.
I met and talk to other guardians too, coz’ My son studying there, they are also very much satisfied with Luzhou Medical College, and there Son Performance.
I would like to thank the Luzhou Medical College management for caring and supporting our kids in there college and in there country.

We the student of luzhou medical college is requested to all the visitors of this site, that there is no such things like:-
• College cheating about academic
• Expensive electric bill, which can not be affordable, and the very point is that the hostel charge is not so high comparing to any other country .Suppose at India apart from the government medical college no such private college can give accommodation of room only for 23000 Rs per year.
• They are giving a high space to each and every student. If we are talking about facilities then starts from room, they are giving ac, single bed, attached bathroom, tv, internet connection. We are getting the broadband connection for 24 hours(100 mbs) just for 20 yuan( around 110 Rs)
• And there is no such thing like Mr.P Mohan Rao has taken

• And there is no such thing like Mr.P Mohan Rao has taken money to pass the students. The student passed here only by their ability.
• And SARASWATIONLINE has not cheated with us about any aspect-not by faculties, not by facilities
• We are getting the high facilities at aspect of education comparing with the higf profile medical college of India or china.
• As an Indian student I can say that the fees we are giving to the college are same for every student
• May be we are paying little bit more than Chinese student but the thing is like we are getting much more facilities than them every corner,
• Those guys who are dare to rise their finger against LUZHOU MEDICAL COLLEGE can judge by themselves with all the points with any medical college of India or Nepal
• We are having exams very soon, and we don’t have time to give any weight age to such base less accusation.

November 15th, 2006 at 3:42 am
What ever college u guys are talking abt in china…its pathetic to note that u cant even communicate in english adequately…let alone in chinese! its sad to note that you are studying medicine in chinese when you cant even speak or write proper english…i would advice you to improve your english especially if you are planning to work in india or any other country as most of the books are in english…if you are planning to practise in china …i have nothing more to say!

It is really sad that all these students are being taken for a long ride by SARASWATI ONLINE and its associates.
These students do not even know how to write a correct line in English just imagine they will become Doctors tomorrow.
Finally, the Medical Council of India donot recognise these qualification…at least we are safe this way.
There are many doctors from such unversity in India who are presently working in BPOs and cannot practice.

Good source of info…

Hi,
I found your article to be conflicting on the criteria you have used. “Income” & “owner of 10 million Rs. or more” are two different things. Please clarify what is the real definition to be used here. Thanks.
