Who are poor?
A poor is an individual who does not have the minimum essential necessities of life. Women, female infants and elderly are considered to the poorest of the poor. This is because, in a poor household, these people suffer the most and are deprived of the maximum necessities in life.

Families of Street cobblers, push-cart vendors, rag pickers, women who sell flowers, beggars and vendors are some instances of poor and weak groups in our neighbourhoods. They lack the common basic necessities like a house, food, clothes and education.
