can deny that more people have been lifted from poverty in last 20 years after the economic reforms came in and "today we have a strong country, strong economy".
Citing a series of examples, Chidambaram said that if each one of us is ready to change a bit and make small adjustments, it will lead to huge savings and changes in the country's fortunes.
He said the small steps will bring a difference in the country. "If each policeman covers an extra mile, women will be safe.
"If each one of us saves a little of diesel and petrol, we can save Rs 5000 crore.... If we do not throw food, we can feed three million people, if each couple prays that their first child will be a girl child, India will be a different country...if we can tweak the MNREGA just a little to create assets, if the rich India and the wealthy share a little of their money... If each one of us works an extra hour, Chidambaram said.
