Income wrong tool to measure poverty: Sen

Press Trust of India . New Delhi
The way most governments measure poverty by basing it on income may be a flawed perception of well-being, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen argues in his new book.
Sen, a former Trinity master, economist, philosopher and mathematician, all rolled into one, in his latest book �The Idea of Justice� says the income approach to poverty, which considers people earning less than a certain amount annually as poor, is not an accurate measure of how well people live.
Instead the laureate gives precedence to one�s capability or the capacity that people have of choosing and leading their lives.
Based on the capability approach, he says, �Poverty will be much more intense than what can be deduced from the income date� due to variations in the distribution of wealth within the family.
For instance, if the family�s income is used disproportionately to advance the interests of only certain individuals, then the �aggregate family income� may not adequately reflect the deprivation of neglected members.
The link between resources and poverty is rather complex. �It is variable and deeply contingent on the characteristics of the respective people and the environment in which they live � both natural and social,� he notes.
Sen says income is not an indicator of one�s standard of living, the kinds of lifestyles that people can lead depend on many factors, including diversities in the physical environment, variations in social climate and differences in relational perspectives.
�Handicaps, such as age or disability or illness, reduce one�s ability to earn an income. But they also make it harder to convert income into capability, since an older, or more disabled have to work more to achieve the same functioning,� he adds.
Sen points out that different kinds of disadvantage related to capability deprivation can be a �critically important consideration� in understanding poverty and in preparing a public policy to tackle poverty.

The director of the project on computer training implementation programme in 128 education institutions of 64 districts Md Sarwar Mostafa Chowdhury, among others, addressed the function.
Yafez urged all to come forward to implement prime minister Sheikh Hasina�s call for building digital Bangladesh.
Terming computer literature an important tool for building digital Bangladesh by 2021, he said all people would have to be brought under computer education as the digital Bangladesh is for all.
The state minister said, �We are working to introduce Bangla version to mobile phones for ensuring access to information technology by all.�
Remarkable progress has been taken place in information technology across the globe, he said adding, �Now we have to take preparations to join the journey of technological advancement so that our new generation could make themselves an efficient workforce to survive in the world competition.

Sumaiya Shimu: Getting into the skin of a slum girl

Actress Sumaiya Shimu has earned plaudits from the TV audience for her portrayal of a girl from the slums of Dhaka in the ongoing drama serial called “Lalita.” Though raised in a slum, Lalita has high aspirations. She wants to break free of the incarceration of poverty and prejudice. The story revolves around Lalita's journey to freedom and narrates the different phases of her life -- from adolescence to married life.

The serial has been shot at 21 locations, from Kuril slum in Baridhara to streets in Tangail.

"What amazes me is the spirit and adaptability of this character," says Sumaiya. "Over 15/20 episodes of the serial, Lalita is in search of peace and her identity. However, in later episodes, she changes into a more assertive and mature person.”

Sumaiya also recalls her role in “Shopno Chura,” directed by Fazlur Rahman. "I really enjoyed playing the fun-loving, happy-go-lucky character. Positive response and warm wishes from viewers encouraged me and made that experience even more special," she says.

Other than "Lalita," Sumaiya Shimu will be appearing in TV plays this Eid like “Houseful Plus,” “Tritiyo Nayan,” “Manushta Onnorokom,” “Golok Dhandha,” “Projapotir Mon” and more.

In “Projapotir Mon,” Sumaiya plays the role of a down-to-earth girl named Khela. Another upcoming project is “A Journey by Love” -- a humorous tale of a flamboyant girl named Nabila (played by Sumaiya) who is forced into marriage by her family. Unable to take the pressure, she decides to escape. Shot in Maulvibazar, it's a fascinating tale of love found through trial and error. The eligible bachelor, Nabila is supposed to marry, is troubled at the prospect of leaving behind all his girlfriends on Facebook. He, too, decides to escape.

Sumaiya says her plan for this coming Eid-ul-Fitr is very hectic. Till the day before Eid, she would be busy shooting.

Sumaiya enjoys travelling, and says that exploring new places -- in the country of overseas -- with near and dear ones is always a rejuvenating experience.
