Question

Which of the following is true regarding poverty alleviation programmes?

• A. They failed to address the vast majority of living on or just above the poverty line
• B. No active participation of the poor
• C. Non-participation of local level institutions in programme implementation
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

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.
