Question

Five points on antipoverty

Answer 1

The two main anti poverty measures are-

1. Promotion of economic growth - # there was very little per capita income growth and not much reduction in poverty ( official poverty were about 45 % in 1950s and was same even in the early eighties ) but since then India has improved.

# the growth rate jumped from the average of about 3.5% a year in the 1970s and 6% during the 1989s and 1990s.this has ultimately resulted in reduction of posve.

# thus, economic growth widens opportuopportunities and provides the resources needed to invest in human development. This also encour encourage people to send their children ( including girl child ) to schools in hope of getting better economic returns from investing in education.

2. Targeted anti poverty programs - # nation rural employment guarantee act - the act provides 100 days assured employment every year to every household in 200 district

# national food for work program - this program isoprene to all rural poor who are in need of wage employment and desire to do manual unskilled work.
