Answer 1

Answer:

(I)Human poverty is a term that means that poverty in India is not just limited to the economic status of the people but rather spreads in various other sectors, which include lack of education, negligence of health care system, discrimination and disparity. Abolishing poverty from the country should not be the only aim of the authorities but to abolish human poverty must be the aim.

(ii)Women, female infants and elderly are considered to the poorest of the poor. This is because in a poor household, these people suffer the most and are deprived of the maximum necessities in life.

(iii)The main features of the National Rural Employment Act 2005 are as follows:

•To provide 100 days of wage employment to every household to ensure livelihood security

•Sustainable development to address the cause of drought, deforestation and soil erosion

•One-third of the proposed jobs under this scheme have been reserved for women
