Answers
The current government strategy of poverty alleviation is based on two planks: (i) Promotion of economic growth (ii) Targeted anti-poverty programmes (i) Promotion of economic growth: Till the early eighties, there were little per capita income growth and not much reduction in poverty.
Explanation:
The current anti-poverty strategy of the government has a two-lined approach - promotion of economic growthandtargeted anti-poverty programmes.
Economic growth widens opportunities and provides resources needed to invest in human development. Also, so that the poor can take advantage of this economic
growth, the government has formulated several anti-poverty schemes to affect poverty directly or indirectly. Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana, Rural Employment Generation Programme, Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana, Antyodaya Anna Yojana, National Food for Work Programme, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, and proposals for establishing National and State Employment Guarantee Funds are some of the anti-poverty schemes of the
government.
However, despite the good intentions of these schemes, the benefits have not fully reached the deserving poor. Hence, the major emphasis in recent years has been on proper monitoring of all the poverty alleviation programmes.
