Poverty is a big challenge for democracy.Since the dawn of human history, the problem of poverty has been an inherent and perpetual characteristic of any type of class or society.Poverty is the chief target of socialism.
The existence of mass poverty on such a large scale is incompatible with the vision of an advanced, prosperous democratic, egalitarian and socialistic pattern of development.
Despite the implementation of several plans and programs, poverty seems to have expanded. The growth strategy adopted by the planners left more than two-fifths of the population below the poverty line.
In India, the definition of the poverty line emphasizes a minimum level of living rather than a reasonable level of living. This attitude is borne out of realization that it would not be possible to provide millions of people even the minimum basic needs for some decades; therefore, to talk about a reasonable level of living or good life may appear to be wishful thinking at the present stage. Thus political considerations enter the definitions of poverty because programs of alleviating poverty may become prohibitive as the vision of a good life widens.
People in India ,who are poor , are also not educated and have health problems and so many economical and social problems..
Government has to spend more and more to reduce the poverty. So its hampering the development of india .
Hope it helps
