Answer 2

Answer:The main reasons for poverty in India are mentioned below :-

Explanation:

1)

Sluggish Agricultural Performance and Poverty:

Many economists have pointed out that in the year of good agricultural output, poverty ratio declines. Good performance in agriculture leads to more employment opportunities and fall in prices of food grains. More employment opportunities and lower food price cause poverty ratio to decline.

2)

Increase in Price:

The steep rise in prices has affected the poor badly. They have become more poor.Ever increasing prices of even basic commodities is another reason of poverty. A person below the poverty line finds it difficult to survive.

3)

Rapid population growth:

rapid growth of population increases the dependency ratio, that is, an earning member has more persons to support. This causes lower per capita consumption expenditure which is not enough even to meet the basic needs.

4)

Deficiency of efficient Entrepreneurs:

For industrial development, able and efficient entrepreneurs are needed. In India, there is shortage of efficient entrepreneurs. Less industrial development is a major cause of poverty.

5)

Low Rate of Economic Development:

The rate of economic development in India has been below the required level. Therefore, there persists a gap between level of availability and requirements of goods and services. The net result is poverty.

6)

Distribution of individual on different basis:

Caste system and unequal distribution of income and resources is another reason of poverty in India.

7)

Improper use of Natural Resources:

India has large natural resources like iron, coal, manganese, mica etc. It has perennial flowing rivers that can generate hydro electricity. Man power is abundant. But these sources are not put in proper use.
