Answer 2

❤❤$\huge\bold{Hey}$❤❤

There are various reasons for poverty in India which are outlined below -

♦ Prolonged Colonial Administration

The policies of British Colonial government shattered the Indian economy so much that it could not be revived until the 1980s.

♦ Unabated Population Growth

The failures to promote both the required economic growth and population control have been the main cause of poverty today.

♦ Illiteracy

Illiteracy is also an important cause of poverty in our country.

♦Disparity in the Ownership of Land-holdings

The unequal distribution of land, lack of land resources and failure in the proper implementation of land reform policies have been the major causes of poverty in rural areas.

♦Unemployment

Lack of job security and unemployment are other causes.

♦Widening Inequalities of Income

This is a feature of high poverty. Money has been concentrating in fewer hands, thus rendering a majority of people poor.

♦Slow Growth of Employment Opportunities

Despite the implementation of various employment generating programmes our government has failed to provide the necessary employment opportunities.

♦ Socio-cultural Factors

In order to fulfill social obligations such as marriage etc. and religious ceremonies people in India including the poor spend a lot of money which makes some people even poorer.
