Solution
The correct option is D All of the above
Government policies failed to address the vast majority of vulnerable people who are living on or just above the poverty line. There is also non-participation of local level institutions in programme implementation. Without the active participation of the poor, successful implementation of any programme is not possible. Poverty can effectively be eradicated only when the poor start contributing to growth by their active involvement in the growth process.
