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.
