With this it was expected that the poor will be raised above the poverty line.Various growth models put forward in the fifties and sixties such as Harrod-Domar growth model, Mahalanobis growth model, Lewis’ model of economic development with unlimited supplies of labour suggested rapid growth of the modern industrial sector to tackle the problem of poverty in the long sun. For this purpose they suggested for increasing the rate of capital formation so as to generate more employment opportunities and increase productivity of labour.

2. Agricultural Growth and Poverty Alleviation:

2. Agricultural Growth and Poverty Alleviation:Agricultural growth has been recognized as an important factor that contributes to marked reduction in poverty. A study made by Montek Ahuluwalia, former member of Planning Commission, brought clearly that agricultural growth and poverty are inversely related; the higher agricultural growth leads to lower poverty ratio. The expe­rience of Punjab and Haryana in the late sixties and in the seventies confirmed this inverse relation between agriculture growth and poverty.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Develop and implement rapid and sustained economic growth policies and programs, in areas such as health, education, nutrition and sanitation, allowing the poor to participate and contribute to the growth. Studies show that a 10 percent increase in a country’s average income reduces poverty by as much as 20-30 percent.

2) Improve management of water and other natural resources. Most of the rural poor depend on agriculture or other natural resources for their livelihood. Consequently, it is necessary that they have more equitable access to those resources so they are better able to manage their resources.
