Mention the two planks on which the current anti-poverty strategy of the government is based. Why the poverty alleviation was programmes not successful in most parts of India? |
|
Answer» The current anti-poverty strategy of the government is based broadly on two planks: (i) Promotion of economic growth. (ii) Targeted anti-poverty programmes. The results of poverty alleviation programmes have been mixed. The major reasons for less effectiveness are:- (i) Lack of proper implementation and right targeting. (ii) Overlapping of a number of schemes. They lack proper monitoring and therefore the benefits of these schemes do not fully reach out to the deserving poor. |
