Explanation:
Over a span of thirty years, till early 1980s a very little growth in per capita income was observed and reduction in poverty was also not much.
Since the eighties, India’s economic growth has been the fastest in the world from 3.5% per annum in 1970s to about 6% during the 1990s. The higher growth rate has helped significantly in the reduction of poverty.
This stands a testimony to the strong link between the economic growth and reduction in poverty.
In the light of these, there is a dire need for the introduction of targeted anti-poverty programme to affect poverty directly or indirectly. Some of the major programmes in this direction are MGNREGA, PMRY, SGSY, AAY etc.
Removal of poverty has been one of the major objectives of the development strategy in India because poverty is one of the biggest challenges to development.
Explanation:
- Poverty is one of the biggest problems that is faced by India and its authorities.
- Due to poverty, various developmental policies do not reach to people and their benefits are not sought.
- Poverty also affects the standard of life, happiness index, medical conditions, educational conditions, and other factors which are important for measurement of development.
- When all these problems related to poverty are improved, the development process would be automatically boosted.
