The Indian government has announced
it will provide 5,000 tons of rice as well as 5,000 tons of sugar to
Mongolia. 

The government has announced
a tender for the food with the winning bid being announced during the
summer of 2008. 

The program is sponsored by
India’s State Trading Corporation. In a statement, the agency noted,
"The government is in the process of delivering 5,000 tons each
of rice and sugar to Mongolia, under the Humanitarian Assistance Program."  

The bid specifications say
the food shipment will have to be delivered to Mongolia by the end of
August, 2008.

I don\'t think its Poorer than Mongolia. It just got more poor people living here.India is now home to largest nos of Billionares surpassing Japan. Just put this way India\'s four Billionaries is equivalent to china\'s 40 Billionares.
