Poverty in India
Poverty refers to a condition in which individuals are unable to fulfil their basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, education and healthcare. Poverty remains one of the most significant socio-economic challenges in developing countries like India.
In India, poverty is often measured using the poverty line which indicates the minimum level of income required to meet basic needs. People who live below this income level are considered to be living below the poverty line (BPL).
Several factors contribute to poverty such as unemployment, low agricultural productivity, population growth, lack of education, unequal distribution of income and slow economic development. Poverty not only affects the standard of living but also impacts health, education and social stability.
The Government of India has introduced various poverty alleviation programs such as MGNREGA, Public Distribution System (PDS), Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, National Rural Livelihood Mission and many other welfare schemes to reduce poverty and improve living standards.
Understanding poverty and poverty alleviation policies is very important for competitive exams such as UPSC, SSC, CDS, Banking and State PSC examinations because questions are frequently asked from poverty measurement, poverty causes and government schemes.
