Question

how much did the anti poverty programmes of the government remain successful?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Roads are easy to build and maintain as compare to railways.

Constructions cost of roads is much lower that of railway lines.

Roads as compare to railways lines can negotiate higher gradients of slopes easily and as such can traverse mountains like Himalayas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Welfare programmes do work these days. That’s because their implementation determines poll outcomes

In the last 15 years, India has seen the adoption of an “alphabet soup” of ambitious national anti-poverty programmes: a rural connectivity scheme (PMGSY), a universal primary schooling initiative (SSA), a rural health initiative (NRHM), a rural electrification scheme (RGGVY), a rural employment guarantee (NREGA), a food subsidy (Food Security Act), and a new digital infrastructure for transferring benefits directly to the poor (UID).

The experience of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) suggests that effective anti-poverty programmes play an increasingly important role in Indian elections and are therefore here to stay.
